Hope you enjoy.
;)
The room at the hostel/hotel. It was unexpectedly quite spacy.
;)
On the trip by bus to Hiroshima, there was few stops at places which reminded me of resting spots in Germany's Autobahns.
;)
In Hiroshima castle's yard: Close-up of a tree that survived the atomic bombing; I think these leaves differ on this branch because of mutations!
;)
Hiroshima castle shrine; childrens crying competition announcement.
;)
Main tower of Hiroshima castle, so small, compared to Osaka and Himeji castles. But still so big.
;)
Hiroshima Peace memorial park; flower festival going on. Those cranes are some kind of symbols of peace.
;)
厳島神社(Itsukushima shrine) in Miyajima. This is the "Ootorii", gate to the shrine, built into sea.
;)
Same as above, but ebb had come.
;)
Some poor boats ashore because of ebb.
;)
HUGE, old tree! and whole bunch of deers! Those deers were everywhere in Miyajima.
;)
"Mysterious" view from Miyajima out to the sea, people collecting some kind of sea alga.
;)
View over Miyajima town, 5-storey pagoda too.
;)
Exactly 100 steps to a small shrine; I counted them as I walked back down.
;)
One of the biggest surprises; Hiroshima station building had same nickname as I do.
;)
This is from the flower festival; Just to show a bit how much people there was.
;)
Street car! (Ratikka!) In Japan, only in Hiroshima I heard.
;)
原爆ドーム(A-bombed dome) at night, spooky isn't it. The atom bomb dropped exploded 600~700 meters above this dome.
;)
You can fix anything with this tape! Even a bridge.
;)
And a view with me in it, taken from the actual Itsukushima shrine.
That's all for now!
