Daily Life In Miyajima Island

MIYAJIMA, JAPAN - APRIL 15: Devotees and pilgrims walk barefoot through thick smoke and over smoldering embers during the Hiwatari Shinji (Fire Walking Ceremony) at Daisho-in Temple on Miyajima Island, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, on April 15, 2026. After the ceremony is opened by Shugendo monks, hundreds of laypeople follow the path of hot cypress coals to pray for spiritual purification, good health, and protection from misfortune.
