We've been staying at the beautiful New Miyako Hotel in Kyoto. It's a wonderful hotel situated right across the street from Kyoto train station.
We traveled by Bullet Train - Shinkansen to Hiroshima station at speeds up to 250 mph! It was a very smooth and quiet train but the speed made my ears pop. We sent our luggage ahead to out next destination since we were only spending one night in Hiroshima. It was really nice to just take a small bag rather than lugging those heavy suitcases on and off the train.
Our next lodging was the Hotel Hiroshima Granvia. Our guide met us there to take us to the beautiful Miyajima Island. Miyajima is symbolized by the famous floating Torii, first built in the 12th century, it denotes that the whole island is sacred. No one is allowed to give birth or die on the island and felling trees is forbidden. Lucky for us, we didn't do any of that.
