Thursday, August 6, 2009

In the morning, go to Kare-ya which are restaurants that specialize in curry rice ( kare raisu ) dishes. After eating, you can go to the peace park . A visit to this park is a must for every vistor to Japan. A bomb dome is left as it was immediately after the atom blast. Its twisted ruins will be left for all time as a reminder of the explosion. A bomb mueseum contains graphic exhibits showing Hiroshima before and after the blast. A filmed presentation on giant screens shows the attack from cameras on the american planes. Hiroshima is dedicated to prevent the use of atomic weapons for all time.
In the afternoon, go to Gyudon-ya, specialize in gyudon ( beef domburi ). You can go to Hiroshima castle. It was originally built in 1589 and rebuilt after being destroyed by the bomb. It is not one of the notable Japanese castles but it has many interesting displays using 3D lazer techniques.
At night, go to Yakitori-ya specialize in yakitori, grilled chicken skewers. Then, go to Miyajima island, is a short train and ferry ride from Hiroshima. It is one of the three most beautiful islands of Japan. From the top of Mount Misen, the highest point of the island, there is a breathtaking view over the island sea of of japan to the Japanese mainland. In Autumn and Spring the island is famous for the colours of the maple and cherry trees which grows wild on the island. Tame deer wander all year among the visitors. Then, go back to the hotel to sleep.
