Yes! We got to use our JR Passes at last! Things were much easier and faster with those cards. And we also got to ride on the shinkansen now. So mum reserved seats for one with the name Rail Star bound for Hiroshima. Sorry about the blur picture.
When we arrived at Hiroshima we changed to the local JR line for Miyajima. Then from there we took a ferry to Itsukushima Taisha! The shrine with that famous floating torii gate... we finally got to see it for real, and it was just breathtaking.
We got to try out some of the famous snacks there. On the way to Itsukushima Taisha and back the same way, a long street with lots and lots of food and souvenir shops accompanied us.
Momiji manju (red bean and cream cheese)
Fish cake!
Grilled oden
Ok mum loves these things but they were quite expensive
The shops
A giant wooden rice ladle
We couldn't resist the urge to try out Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki! WOW
Back to the Hiroshima station. We took a tram to the Hiroshima Peace Park. It was really cool there.
A nice tile on the station platform
A-Bomb Dome
The museum and those special looking trees
THE bomb
Sadako's memorial
We took a walk along Hondori Street
SO many different things inside... Arcade!
Around 8.30pm we headed to Nagasaki.
Yoshinoya!
There we started finding AKARI, where we rested and slept for the night. The place was so cozy and welcoming...
We got these beauties from Hondori Street in Hiroshima earlier
Nightie night~!
End of Day 5
