		Easily reached in about 30 minutes from Hiroshima, Miyajima is a treasure of an island only 2km (1 1/4 miles) off the mainland in the Seto Inland Sea.
		In the olden days, no one was allowed to do anything so human as to give birth or die on the island, so both the pregnant and the ill were quickly ferried across to the mainland.
		Covered with cherry trees that illuminate the island with snowy petals in spring, and with maple trees that emblazon it in reds and golds in autumn, Miyajima is home to tame deer that roam freely through the village, and to monkeys that swing through the woods.

		By this time it was mid-afternoon and while the rest of the group went on to Miyajima, Sarah and I took a train by ourselves to Yanai to meet our Yamada relatives for the first time.
		Because we had been rushing around in Hiroshima, we had been unable to phone the Yamadas to tell them we would be later than expected, and we didn’t get to Yanai until after 6:00 pm.
		We were then hurried back down the dark streets to their house, got our stuff plus the bundle of Great Grandpa’s kimonos that they had given us, and got to the station just a few minutes before the train arrived at 8:20 pm.
