Miyajima Island Night Soundscape near a mountain stream

The enchanted island of Miyajima lies on the Seto Inland Sea in Southern Japan. It is famous for the World Heritage listed Itsukushima Shrine. At high tide the whole temple looks like it is floating on the water and the giant Torii gate is said to be a point of connection between the spirit and physical worlds, a place you can pass back and forth between these two planes of existence. Just a short walk from the shrine itself is the little wooded valley of Momijidani. There you will find the beautiful Iwaso Hotel and just up from there an extraordinarily beautiful bright red bridge over an idyllic set of waterfalls. This recording was taken just a few steps into the forest from this set of manicured yet natural waterfalls on a clear, moon-lit night towards the end of summer. Hosted on Acast.
