Miyajima island is one of the most visited spots in all of Japan and is especially beautiful when blanketed in Autumn colors. If you are visiting Hiroshima from the end of October to the end of November, you can enjoy a day walking around Miyajima island taking in the many stunning views amid the vivid colors of the Fall leaves.

I loved Miyajima when I visited (in the spring!) but I feel like I need to make a return trip in the autumn months to soak up some of the beautiful colors!
