    Hiroshima Hatsukaichi-shi Miyajimacho
    This sutra mound stands quietly near the Miyajima Public Aquarium. Situated on a hill between the aquarium and the Miyajima History and Folklore Museum, the mound is adorned with a small Hokyoin pagoda and a stone lantern. The hill is known as Kyono’o and according to records is the place where military leader Taira no Kiyomori buried a sutra written on individual stones one character at a time to pray for the prosperity of his clan. A portion of these stones was discovered during a land reclamation project in 1944, as well as what are believed to be Heian period ceramics and a copper mirror.

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
