Hiroshima

We had a great time in Hiroshima both sight seeing and catching up with old friends.

After arriving in Hiroshima we met up with Pär's old university friend Magnus and his family. They took us to a restaurant where we got to try Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima style). In the afternoon that same day we then met up with Erika's old childhood friend Derek and his family. In the evening, Derek took us out for some more traditional Japanese food. This time it was grilled fish skewers and sashimi followed by some bar hopping.

The two most well known tourist sights in Hiroshima are the Miayima island and the atomic bomb museum. The day after we arrived in Hiroshima we spent a full day at Miayima with Magnus as our excellent tour guide.

During our last day in Hiroshima we rented bikes to get around the city. We rode the bikes to the atomic bomb museum. The museum is really interesting and is well worth a visit. Be aware though, during the week there might be hundreds of school children there on a field trip.

Ready to board the next bullet train
