Planning a solo trip to Japan felt intimidating on paper but this route made it manageable end to end.
Miyajima's floating torii gate is worth the whole day trip on its own. I took the early ferry across, watched the gate stand tall against the water, and had a slow solo morning I really didn't want to end.
Miyajima's floating torii gate is worth the entire day trip by itself.
Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park hit harder than expected, glad I did this one as a quiet solo visit rather than in a big group.
