2018.3.14

It was fine and warm like spring.

We started at 8 am. First we went to Miyajima where is one of the three most beautiful spots in Japan and one of the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites by train and ferry which were operated by JR. We visited the Itsukushima jinja (厳島神社) shrine and the Daiganji (大願寺) temple.

On our way back we took a World Heritage Cruise from Miyajima to the A-Bomb Dome where is also one of the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. It took 45 minutes and cost yen 2,000.

At the Peace Park we visited Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims, and so on. I have been there before but there were something new too including the ex-US president Barack Obama's cranes and message and Panels of the Nobel Peace Prize of 2017 and so on.

On our way back we took a tram.  It took about 20 minutes to Hiroshima station and cost yen 180.

We did not have time to eat lunch but I am glad to take the scheduled bullet train.

On our way back Mt.Fuji looked very beautiful.

At Shinagawa station there were long lines waiting to buy sweets because today is March 14, White Day when boys and men who got chocolates on St.Valentine's Day give back something.
