Only one day to be spend in Hiroshima so have to make an early start
Hana Hostel where I stayed
I bought a 600en all you can ride day ticket since travel is cheaper that way
I want to see the castle and peace memorial park.
Lets see the castle first...
But the castle opens usually later... I got of the wrong stop
Have to go for the park first
shopping streets haven't open yet
Peace memoriial park
So it's that early :D
A memorial for the victims
A silent moment in the front of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (World Inheritage Site)
Everything here tells about the tragic story about the Atom Bom
bell of peace
Childrens peace memorial with paper origami decorations just like we saw in Tanabata

A-bom museum
The clock that stopped at the time of the explosion
Before the bom
The demolished town

I'm not using the flash so it's ok to film ^^
US areal photo before
And after
This shows the point where the Bom was centered. The center was the Hiroshima famous T-bridge
The atomic explosion
A geta that was found 600m from the center of the bom
The bom
That's the place where mans shadow was printed is. Tha man was waiting for the bank to open but he never made inside. The heat of the bom made mark where he was standing. Blood absorbs the radiation better than stone.
And the site
Hmm, an engineers poin of view: Those crack like we were told and we calculated in university.
Interesting
That Autum. In Hiroshima where it was said: “For seventy-five years nothing will grow.” New buds sprouted. In the green that came back to life. Ammong the charred ruins. People recovered. Their living hopes and courage.
:'(
The clock have stopped
Comprehensive School children are drawing a picture of the Peace Memorial Dome
Bunka no doori
Today there's baseball match
Childrens messages from the last weeks memorial of the D-Day

Have to see the castle. If it's as good as the once that I have seen I'm happy. Even though I might have seen the most beautiful once already

Castle
And it's black???
Been here. Now let's go inside
The fifth army garrison ruins from the time of the bom lies there too...
All seems so modern here
Even there's a fence at the top floor. I hate the fact it's black
Child 188en, Adult 360en, over 65years old free and exhange students FREE! Ó_ó First time I see it but I'm loving it.
I wouldn't have gone in if it was't free
Even the staris have laminate and there's aircon inside :(
The view is NOT normal
Too new
And you can be thirsty at thhe top floor. There's also a sulvenair shop in the first floor...

That looks like better picture
Goin for Miyajima. I can only remember that trough kanjis 宮島
Miyajima station
Why there's boat yards here and where's the torii!
Ok it seems to be on a island. never heard of it before but it makes sence when thinking about the kanji for island is in the name... But Hiroshimas name has also a island kanji but it's not on a island...
340en for 2way trip. It got a little bad when it was in my pocket but I made back with it still. the ticket was thirsty and you know how paper behaves when it have drunk water... ;)

There's a matsuri here. The signs said about fireworks 宮島花火大会
I would like to see the Hanabitaikai but this might get really crowded and how I'm supposed to get out of here by train. The train ride lasts only 60mins
The people are waiting... The Hanabitaikai starts in 8h... You have to be in hurry?
Matsuri food <3

Made it here
It would be nice to see this in high tide but it comes at the same time as the Hanabitaikai.
