To Miyajima Island
People come to Miyajima Island for its floating tori. It’s a tori that thrills people simply because you can actually walk to the tori when the tide is down. The thing is, Miyajima Island is home to more than just Itsukushima Shrine’s tori. There’s quite a number of things you can see and do by foot here. As always, I didn’t get to do and see everything I wanted to while I was on this island but here’s what I encountered while on the grounds of Miyajima Island.

Walking around Beppu
When people think of Beppu, the first thing that comes to mind is hot springs. Why’s that? Well, Beppu just happens to have a lot of hot springs. Tourists tend to flock here specifically to visit 8 of their hot springs. Although I was one of those people that wanted to see these touristy hot springs, it’s safe to say that Beppu has a lot more to see than its hot springs. I took a bit of a walk around the city and this is what I ran into.

Matsushiro Castle
Of all the cities I visited in Japan, I’d have to say that Matsushiro (Nagano) was my favorite. The charming city gave me glimpses into what life may have looked like in the past. Centuries ago even thanks to what’s left of Matsushiro Castle.

Sanrio Puroland
Most of you know what Disneyland is, but how many of you know what Sanrio Puroland is? If you know who Hello Kitty is, just think of Sanrio Puroland as her home. Kind of like how Disneyland is home to Mickey and his friends. Now, unlike Disneyland, Sanrio Puroland is a lot smaller and not as crowded. There are still lines to get into attractions and rides at Sanrio Puroland, though.
