go, Hiroshima!

(Ikou! Hiroshima. Let's go to Hiroshima!)

Last Friday, I'm still " warpée. This time, my destination was Tokyo, but not Hiroshima.

The city, completely destroyed after the bombing of August 6, 1945 (I hope not to have to remind you of the context), was quickly rebuilt and has since developed quite well. It is nevertheless quiet and charming. There are a lot of Sites to see: the Dome of Hiroshima, the Peace Memorial and Museum (of course), Hiroshima Castle, a few temples and other places less symbolic. I think a complete tour of the city can be a busy day or two days quietly. A tram network facilitates travel in the city but a pair of legs (or wheels) may suffice. We must add one day more, if you will also visit Miyajima, the island sacred.

I organized this trip alone without personal guide. Nevertheless, I made some research online to find out what to visit, eat, etc.. The city is easily discovered walk. I have used public transport to get to that Miyajima. It is easy to locate in the city: everything is squared and not that tall.

Day 1 - Saturday - Arrival in Hiroshima

Having classes in the morning, I arrived during the afternoon (15h). After depositing my luggage at the hotel, I began a journey to the city. I followed the tram line. I found myself at the NHK building where I stopped for a break (at Starbucks). After returning to my feet, I walked the mall Hondori, is some stores (it was the balance) and dined at the village of okonomiyaki.

Okonomiyaki-mura is not a street or neighborhood is a building which three entire floors are occupied by restaurants specializing in okonomiyaki style of Hiroshima. Unlike the Osaka style where everything is mixed and cooked on the teppan, Hiroshima okonomiyaki is cooked on the teppan layer: first, the small pancake flour and water, cabbage and soybeans, mung noodles, sauce, garnish meat / fish mixed with egg. Personally, I found it quite dry, my preferred style is by far Osaka.

Day 2 - Saturday - visit to Miyajima

Miyajima is considered one of the three wonders of Japan. It is an island which lies not far from Hiroshima: one must first go to Miyajiguchi to take the ferry. Port, everything can be done on foot (well almost). Luckily, that day, it was fine, though a bit cold.
Once on the island, I visited the giant torii planted in water or rather the sand, the tide was still low. I visited the temple Tsukushima which was a nice view of the sea and the other side, the Daisho-in Buddhist temple, one of the largest in the region and the Senjokaku. I also saw a two-storey pagoda and another at 5.

At noon I ate in a restaurant which proposed the "anagomeshi" (a donburi with a sort of small grilled eel). With oysters, it is one of the specialties of the region. Did not like oysters, whether cooked or raw, I preferred to head for the other option. Yet eel say to me, for I pretenses that this is not the same fish and the cooking method is different. The taste also was different, less distorted, probably easier.

Once rested, I decided to climb Mount Misen. 'Burn' is a big word. I merely go to the park Momijidani and take the cable car. Once up, it still took off and climb stairs for an hour to reach the summit via a few small temples and shrines. The view is really beautiful: we see the mountain, sea, other islands, the sky ... That green is blue ... The rise worth it. One understands why the Japanese consider the island as sacred. Personally, I felt like falling into a Miyazaki film. A

Once back down, I went in a little cafe that served as one of the best cheesecakes I could eat (it is just down the 5-story pagoda and Senjoku). A quick tour of Omotesando street to buy souvenirs and go again!

Day 3 - Tuesday - moving Hiroshima

For my last day, I could rent a bike. My laziness has nevertheless had the better of me and my legs finally carried me all day. I first stopped at the museum in Hiroshima prefecture who had a collection of Western contemporary art. There was even a Dali! From the museum, one can have Shukkeien access to the garden. Shukkein is a Japanese-style garden designed in the 17th century. It can walk, admire the small landscapes, it's pretty nice. Inside the garden, there are also some small tearooms. After a little tea and red bean soup, I headed to the Hiroshima Castle.

Around noon, I arrived at the Dome in Hiroshima, a symbol of the city and 6 August 1945. This is one of the buildings (if there are several) that has not fully collapsed and was held in memory of the Second World War. After lunch, I went to the museum Peace. I had been warned that it would be 'intense', moving ... it was really ...

I strolled the rest of the afternoon. For dinner, I stopped in one of three coffee shops along the Kyobashi River. Then I quietly waited for my return to the station.

いじ ょうです!
