The island of Itsukushima is more famously known as Deer Island. The Sika deer roam freely amongst the shrines, shops, and visitors. They are very tame and friendly .

In ancient times, the deer on Miyajima were worshipped as messengers of the Gods and of the locals. Just don't let your guard down, bc they will come after your breakfast muffin!
