On
15th of March, we went to Hiroshima for a day trip from Fukuoka.
It only takes an hour from Fukuoka by Hikari Shinkansen, bullet
train.
Hiroshima is known as a city
which was damaged by an Atomic Bomb in 1945. There is Peace
Memorial Park and "the Atomic Bomb Dome" which was
registered in 1996 as a World Heritage site. Unfortunately
we did not have time to visit this time. www.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/peacesite
is Hiroshima Peace Site, if you are interested in more details.
Miyajima, a little island
in Hiroshima is one of my favourite places in Japan, so I
took Marc to Miyajima. Miyajima is one of Japan's three scenic
places, and Itsukushima
Shrine which was built on the water in the island is registered
as World Cultural Heritage in 1996. It takes about a half
hour train ride from Hiroshima to Miyajimaguchi, and then
10 min ferry ride to Miayjima.You
can spend a week in Miyajima. We only visited small part of
Miyajima such as Itsukushima
Shirine, Daiganji Temple, Momijidani
Park (maple leaves), Five
stories Pagoda, and Senjokaku.
We had dinner with my
parents, my cousin and his wife, my brother at my parent's
place.
