We arrived at just about lunch time, in search for some "Hiroshima-style" okonomiyaki, which I guess means they stuff it more with cabbage and bean sprouts. There is a whole floor here dedicated to okonomiyaki restaurants.
It, too, was delicious.
Next: the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. We breezed through this museum -- somewhat of a challenge because I got pretty emotional at one point. Many of the images and artifacts were sad and disheartening. Outside, you can see how much the city has grown from the ashes, though the "atomic dome" is left as a reminder.
Afterwards, we took a ferry to Miyajima, an island famous for its beautiful shrine that sits out in the middle of the ocean -- when the tide is in, that is.
Here, there are deer that run rampant.
Itsukushima Shrine:
And I didn't even get boat sick.
