One of our day-trips was to Miyajima island by boat, home of the Istukushima shrine.   

 

 The first thing I noticed was the deer.  They are everywhere!

 

There were tons of school kids there on class trips, and I think this guy learned not to feed the animals.  About 30 seconds after I took this photo, the buck was chasing him (and he was screaming!) down the street for more food.  

I thought it was hysterical, until I got an ice cream cone.  At least the one bothering me was a doe, so I didn't worry about the antlers.  She didn't attack me, she was just very insistent on getting part of my cone.  Luckily for me, some else showed up with food about the time I finished my cone (without sharing - I know better).  But, talk about doe eyes - she was working them!

 Some other views on the island:
