In Hiroshima (゚∀゚*)

My friend is living in Hiroshima. I first visited Hiroshima where she lives.
Though it was a short stay, I enjoyed Hiroshima to the full with her family.

One of Japan's "Three Most Scenic Spots",
"MIYAJIMA" is said that "an Island where People & Gods Live Together".
Since ancient times,Miyajima has been worshipped as a god.

The day we visited was very fine weather!!
We could see the beautiful and unerthly island^o^.


A 1400-year history

"Itsukushima Shrine",
World Cultural Heritage (゚∇^d)

It's known for the unique and bold concept of being built
in the sea as well as its elegant architectural style "Shinden Zukuri."
The vermilion-painted building creates a beautiful contrast
with the blue sea & green mountains(*^-^)

Okonomi-yaki in Hiroshima!!There are thousand of Okonomi-yaki shops
in Hiroshima.Okonomi-yaki is cooked using plenty of vegetables,
thin yellow noodles or thick white noodles,special sweet sauce,and so on.
Okonomi-yaki is very individual food.
By the way....Hiroshim's soul food "Okonom-yaki"!!
It came into existence in Hiroshima where it turned to scorched earth by "bamb".
They say it's start that the wives who lost husbands by "bamb"or "war"
burned & sold it like cheap sweets in front of the house for their living.

Hiroshima's okonomiyaki started like this has been loved by everyone
(from adults to children)!
It's also very delicious and good reputation(o^-')o
