Last week was a 3 day weekend and I was lucky enough to go to Hiroshima for the first time with a few friends. Instead of catching the Shinkansen, we rode a bus to save money :) Five and a half hours is well worth saving a hundred and fifty dollars or so! We were there for three days and two nights so it gave us an opportunity to explore the city more than if we were to go for only two days and a night (because a day trip simply isn't possible if you're coming in from Kobe or Osaka...). I took quite a bit of pictures, so this post will be split into 2 or more parts :)
So much yummy food...inside Hiroshima Station! O.o
Entrance to the Peace Memorial Museum
Glimpse of the Memorial Cenotaph and the A-Bomb Dome
Memorial Cenotaph
Peace Flame
Statue of Sadako
Tsuru!
Lots and lots O.o
A-Bomb Dome- a reminder to us all of what nuclear weapons and war will bring
Downtown Hiroshima (aka shopping galore ^^)
Because you can't go to Hiroshima and not eat their okonomiyaki! This one had cheese and jalapeno peppers on it :D
You can't see it, but this one had pieces of mochi hidden inside! :)
And that's the end for Day 1! Day 2 pictures will be up tomorrow :) Thank you so much for reading and I hope you have a wonderful week!
