One-day trip to Hiroshima
During 5-day holiday in Sep, I had one-day trip to Hiroshima with my friend on Sep 22. Hiroshima is far from Tokyo, so you might wonder why we had just one-day trip there. It’s because we planned it one week before the trip and the hotels were full... And we wanted to visit Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima (Island), so we thought we could focus on visiting the island, not going sightseeing in the city.
We took on the first Shinkansen leaving 6 am at Tokyo station (not plane!) and went back to Tokyo by taking Shinkansen leaving at 7:30 pm at Hiroshima. One way takes about 4 hours, so we were in Shinkansen for 8 hours on the day! It was tiring, but it was not big problem. We were chatting or sleeping on the train.
Itsukushima Shrine was mystic and beautiful. Now I can understand why people are visiting there. We arrived there at the flood tide, so it looked the shrine was floating. It said we can walk through the Shrine gate (Torii) at the low tide, but I preferred seeing it at the flood tide. It was more mystic.
There were so many visitors, so we had a hard time to find the place to eat lunch. We ate sweets a little bit during daytime, and we finally ate lunch, Anago-Hitsumabushi (bowls of rice), around 5pm. We were starving for lunch, and the Anago was so delicious ;-)
It was just one-day trip, but we enjoyed a lot. Worth visiting there!
