Hiroshima's Momiji Maple Leaves
JJ WalshMomiji are Japanese maple leaves that have long been a symbol of Hiroshima. I have enjoyed taking photos of these leaves over the years, here are some of my favorites.
Momijidani Park (紅葉谷公園, Momijidani-Kōen) is one of the most famous maple leaves valley parks in Japan. The park is located at the foot of Mt. Misen, along Momijidani River, behind Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, Hiroshima. [Wikipedia]
It's about a 20-minute walk south of Miyajima's pier area along a route that cuts through the Omotesando shotengai area.
It's also just a 2-minute walk from the Miyajima Ropeway at the base of Mount Misen.

Le sanctuaire d'Itsukushima est situé sur les rives de l’île de Miyajima (aussi appellée Itsukushima), une île de la mer intérieure de Seto non loin de la ville d'Hiroshima. Alors que le nom Itsukushima signifie «île de culte», le site est plus connu sous le nom de «sanctuaire flottant», car les bâtiments semblent flotter sur l'eau lorsque la marée monte. Le sanctuaire est un site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO et est un trésor national spécial du Japon. L'île d'Itsukushima était depuis longtemps un lieu de grande importance dans la foi shintoïste, c'est pourquoi le sanctuaire d'origine aurait été construit en 593. Le sanctuaire actuel aurait été construit plus tard en 1168 par le puissant prince Tairo no Kiyomori, qui en fit son sanctuaire ancestral. La spécialité du sanctuaire est son installation construite sur des piquets en bois, qui semble flotter sur l'eau à marée haute. Selon la pure croyance shintoïste, il n'y a pas eu de naissances ni de décès sur l'île jusqu'au 18ème siècle. La construction du fameux torii rouge debout dans l'eau à marée haute est liée à la croyance en la pureté. Dans le passé, les pèlerins n'étaient autorisés à s'approcher de l'île qu'en bateau à travers ce torii, de sorte que le sanctuaire flottant lui-même fonctionnait comme un port purificateur et le seul accès à l'île sainte.
The Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street is a 350m-long arcade that acts as one of the main paths between the island's port and Itsukushima Shrine. It's a lively thoroughfare filled with souvenir shops, street-side food counters as well as cafes, bars and restaurants. A folding roof provides a canopy to shelter from both rain or sun. Local delicacies steal the show so expect oysters, conger eel, momiji manju (a baked or deep-fried snack) or Miyajima craft beer along the route. Plenty of souvenir shops sell the famous shamoji (traditional wooden rice paddle) used for serving rice. A giant rice paddle—the symbolic Ōshakushi—used to be located here but has been relocated to the nearby etto Miyajima Community Centre. With most visitors to Miyajima not necessarily staying on the island overnight, many of the shops close by 5pm or 6pm. Nonetheless, once the sun sets the street takes on a warm, charming vibe under the glow of the lantern light that lines the street.
Daishō-in or Daisyō-in is a historic Japanese temple complex with many temples and statues on Mount Misen, the holy mountain on the island of Itsukushima, off the coast of Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima, Japan. It is the 14th temple in the Chūgoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and famous for the maple trees and their autumn colors. [Wikipedia]
