Well, the title of this story may be a little misleading. You see, my fashion consciousness is nothing to write home about. So don't expect a shopping guide from me, even if it's just window shopping. Especially with Ginza, one of the best known high-fashion shopping areas in Tokyo. All the usual suspects of the high-fashion world are here - Armani, Bulgari, Gucci, Chanel, you name it!

This is the second and last part of the 2-part series.

In the previous part I covered the first day of a 2-day tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima from Tokyo. The first day consisted of arriving at Hiroshima from Tokyo and touring the Peace Memorial Park. In this part I will cover the island of Miyajima and the beautiful Itsukushima shrine.

This is the first part of a two-part series. Read the next part here.

Hiroshima is a place of immense historical value. Although the history associated with it is fairly recent, its nature is of a unique kind. A visit to Hiroshima is humbling for most people, a testament to the horrors of war in it's most destructive form, and the resilience of the Japanese people to recover from such unthinkable destruction. It's definitely a must-see for World War II history buffs, but even if you're a casual tourist visiting Japan, I would highly recommend a visit for one or two days. Specially a two day trip as that would allow you to visit the neighboring island of Miyajima - often described as one of the most beautiful places in Japan.
