If you asked me when and where I saw the most beautiful sunset, I would say it was in the summertime on Miyajima. And I'm lucky enough to have seen it twice! Miyajima is a wonderful place anyway, and is deservedly popular with both local and foreign tourists, but during the photographer's so-called 'golden hour' it truly becomes a magical place. If you can afford it, stay at one of the great Japanese inns on Miyajima, but if not, you'll still have time to take the ferry and train back to your budget accommodation in Hiroshima after the sun has set. Write it on your bucket list!
