First thing we wanted to do today after having our Quaker Oats breakfast was to look for interesting places near AKARI.
The Spectacle Bridge right in front of AKARI.
We walked up a slope and saw the Koei-ji temple. We also looked for a temple called Kofuku-ji. We didn't enter though because we had to catch a tram to the Nagasaki Peace Park.
We saw a rainbow!!!
There were so many great statues in the park, gifts given from many countries. Here are a few pictures I took of them. There were too many I couldn't take pictures of them all.
A Call - from Bulgaria
Joy of Life - from the Czechoslovak Republic
Monument of People's Friendship - from the German Democratic Republic
Statue of Peace - from USSR (Soviet)
Infinity - from Turkey
Constellation Earth - from America
We also saw the Urakami Cathedral from afar
This is the hypocenter. The atomic bomb was dropped onto this exact spot.
We had bento bought from a convenience store opposite the park. We sat on a bench near the hypocenter and ate these tasty stuff, and those ridiculously sweet and fresh strawberries from yesterday.
We entered the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum (no photography). The thing I remembered was that the bomb looked slightly rounder than the one from Hiroshima. They called it Fat Man if not mistaken.
Tram
We then headed to Hakata, Fukuoka. Why Fukuoka? So I have a confession to make. Mum and I watched 'Bambino!' a TV series about Italian food. The main character, a pasta chef, used to live and work in Hakata before moving on to Roppongi (we went there too on the last day). We even had spaghetti just for the fun of it!
It was so nice!
We headed back to Umeda after that and on the way back to TOYO we saw a red ferris wheel on top of a building called the HEP Five.
Got back around 11pm. Night~!
End of Day 6.
