It was late in the day when we hit Miyajima. We didn't care, because we wanted a spot we could let Locutus wander around. We found some safe spots and let him roam.
Totally safe!
On our previous trip, Miyajima was a good spot for souvenir shops. And so it was again. Only, many of the shops are the cheap tourist stuff, clearly aimed at the hordes of school children that visit the shrine with limited funds. There was a fantastic shop with carvings that would have been great, had they not been improbably large and difficult to transport.

We did find a lacquer shop and managed to get a couple of items off our shopping list. So, moderate success. And Locutus was not eaten by a deer, so...that's good, right? I guess we'll call this one a win.
