Miyajima is an impressive & spiritual place. It is permitted to give birth or to die on the island even felling trees is forbidden. That’s why is covered in virgin forest that provides a shelter for various birds. And not to forget the all and everything eating deers who are mainly nicking all the snacks from the tourists & sucking towels and tablecloths.
