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.

Momiji dùng để chỉ lá phong Nhật Bản - một biểu tượng lâu đời của Hiroshima. Tôi đã chụp ảnh về loại lá này trong suốt nhiều năm, và đây là một vài trong số những bức ảnh tôi yêu thích.

El santuario Itsukushima se encuentra en la isla del mismo nombre (también conocida como Miyajima) en el mar interior de Seto, no lejos de la ciudad de Hiroshima y es particularmente conocido por su "torii flotante". El santuario es Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO y un tesoro nacional especial de Japón. La isla Itsukushima había sido durante mucho tiempo un lugar de gran importancia en la fe sintoísta, razón por la cual el santuario original se construyó supuestamente en 593. Se dice que el santuario actual fue construido más tarde en 1168 por el poderoso príncipe Tairo no Kiyomori, quien lo convirtió en su santuario ancestral. La especialidad del santuario es su instalación construida sobre estacas de madera, que parece flotar en el agua durante la marea alta. Según la pura creencia sintoísta, no hubo nacimientos ni muertes en la isla hasta el siglo XVIII. El famoso torii rojo que se encuentra en el agua durante la marea alta también se basa en la creencia de la pureza. En el pasado, a los peregrinos solo se les permitía acercarse a la isla en bote a través de este torii, por lo que el santuario flotante en sí mismo funcionaba como un puerto purificador y el único acceso a la isla sagrada.
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]
