Miyajima Island revisited

We took the ferry again today to visit the island just across the water. 

After a couple hours of intense mountain climbing we finally made it to the top of Miyajima mountain and was treated to a great view of the city and surrounding area. 

The mountain is 2.5km high and it took us the whole afternoon to climb it.  We were definitely tired by the time we got up.  Mount Fuji in August will be a challenge based on today's experience. 

We had also planned to go check out the beach on the other side of the island but couldn't make it to the ferry.  Instead we just took the ferry back and are planning to have a chilled night here at the hostel - they are serving Taokoyaki today! 700¥ gets you all you can eat fried octopus balls!!!
