Hiroshima Travelogue (Japan) November 2023
HIROSHIMA (JAPAN) TRAVELLOGUE 23 November 2023 Embarked on a high-speed adventure from Bandobashi to Shin Yokohama Station aboard the iconic Shinkansen, commonly known as the Bullet Train. Incredible! Covering a whopping 850 kilometres in just 3.5 hours, the journey treated us to breath-taking views of Mount Fuji. The spacious seats and impeccable cleanliness, even in the restrooms, made it feel like a flight. Checked into Hotel Smile upon arrival in Hiroshima, where we explored the city center amid the Black Friday sale excitement. 24 November 2023 Set out on foot towards Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, admiring the wide roads and taking note of the unique Streetcar transport system. A chance encounter with a Shrine (Shirakami-sha Shrine, Hiroshima) along the way offered a serene experience, complete with an insightful lesson on traditional prayer rituals. Witnessed the enchanting bloom of Yambuku, the Japanese Kerria, and strolled across the Peace Bridge. E
