Thank God for a good and safe trip in Japan: March 26-27; Hiroshima Torri gate, Hiroshima Memorial peace park, A-Bomb dome, Osaka etc... (lots of pics)


Leaving Tokyo :( loved it here. Left our hotel (pic here) and went to Tokyo station for our train to Osaka which was departing roughly about 12:00PM.

March 26

Tokyo Station


 


Lots of people around this figure; no idea really.


Steak and Hamburger steak Japanese style.

 


 


 


Mt Fuji from the Shinkansen.


Osaka

 
 
 


Shibas! Didn't go this time



 


 


 


Where we ate: Good Wagyu and Yakiniku




Where we went for dim sum aftersnack

 




 

We were pretty much beat after a 4hr train ride. We walked around the Osaka Dotonbori and just shopped and ate. Day over. 


March 27: Hiroshima

Torri Gate:

 


 


 


 


 


Deer beer


 



Darn. Those Shibas are everywhere




Lots of Deers here. Got to see the floating Torri gate, well, its above water. In the summer I think you can walk to the gate due to low tide. I actually tried the Deer poop, its chocolate chunks on your ice cream. Drank Deer beer as well. It was ok, just for the experience.

A-bomb Dome


 


 


 


 


 


 





 Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

 


 


 












The monuments are beautiful but yet depressing at the same time. It's really nice to commemorate the victims of the atomic bomb. The Museum is free to go in so check it out if you have sometime. The area is also full of memorials so hopefully you have the time to scope out of all of them. We were pressed for time so we didn't see everything.

Hiroshima Castle

 


 


 


 




You have to pay to get in the castle but we just wanted some pics so we got what we came here for. This was also the first place we got Yakitori. I swear Tokyo wasn't big on Yakitori. I had to get it. I was craving the chicken stick. 








Taking the train home










Back at the Hiroshima station, lots of Okonomiyaki places to eat. We had to pick one since we had a train to catch. Good food. Hiroshima Okonomiyaki specialty is with noodles.

Back home to Osaka

 


 


Had to eat some more as we returned to our Osaka hotel. 551 Horai, my mom's favorite. Had to try the Fried chicken here as well. We bought some custard back from Hiroshima. All was good. Good night.
