And there we go to Hiroshima

Објавено: 20.06.2017

So that we have also experienced all means of transportation in Japan, yesterday we took the long-distance bus to Hiroshima. It was three times cheaper than taking the Shinkansen. It only takes 5.5 hours :D But it was very pleasant.

In Hiroshima, we are staying - in the classic businessman style - in a capsule hotel. The hotel has one floor for women and three for men. You can tell who the hotels are for :) We actually imagined a real capsule. Each 'capsule' has a small anteroom with a chair, a small table, and a closet, and every day you get new towels, pajamas (!), and cosmetics (plus a protective mask).

But now let's talk about the pictures: West of Hiroshima is the island of Miyajima, which might not ring a bell to you, but you have probably already seen the most famous symbol of Japan (besides Mt. Fuji) on many brochures about Japan. It's the red torii gate at the Itsukushima Shrine, standing in the sea. The island used to be sacred and no one was allowed to threaten it. That's why the shrine was built on stilts in the bay. You can also hike to the highest mountain on the island, but today it was so hazy and humid that we wouldn't have had a nice view anyway.

On the island, there are many tourists running around and also deer again. However, you are not allowed to feed them. But they always try to stick their heads in your bag (the deer, that is :D). The island's specialty are small sweet-filled maple leaf-shaped pastries called Momiji. In the bay of Hiroshima, there are also oysters, which can be baked or fried. Kerstin ate them and I, on the other hand, enjoyed eel on rice. Both very delicious :)

Tomorrow we will go to where Hiroshima has sadly become world-famous for.
