Well we missed the bus to Sandankyo on Saturday so we decided to go to Miyajima instead. We had a great time! All of the teachers at the high school were telling me that it was a bad time to go to Sandankyo anyway (it's better in Autumn). Miyajima was absolutely beautiful. We took the ropeway all the way to the top of the mountain. Unfortunately we didn't see any wild monkeys, but we did hike to the very top. This is a picture of the Otorii Gate.
