Japan (Miyajima & Hiroshima) April 2010 D-7

Hiroshima will always be remembered for the world's first atomic bomb attack which happened on 6 August 1945. As a consequence, thousands were killed and after 65 years, my wife and myself had this opportunity to visit Hiroshima - thank you Mochan for including Hiroshima in your 14 day bus trip program.

















































































2) The shrine buildings are connected by corridors which stretch out over the water, so at high tide the whole structure appears to be floating on the sea. A red camphor wood torii gate rising out of the sea is the landmark of the shrine


3) Panoramic view from the top of the Miyajima Island - fantastic sights, how not to fall in love with this place ! 



4) Leaving Miyajima Island with fond memory - Sayonara !
