Using our JR pass, we made a day trip to Miyajima by Shinkansen train (from Kyoto to Hiroshima). |
Then we transfered to a local train at the Hiroshima station. |
Just in front of teh Miyajima station is the small ferry port to Miyajima. The ferry is also operated by JR, so JR pass can be used for this ferry as well. |
This is the ferry we took. The ferry leaves every 15 minutes, so we didn't have to wait too long. |
This picture was taken from inside teh ferry overlooking the ferry port. |
We are getting close to the famous floating torii (a torii is a traditional Japanese gate at the entrance of a Shinto shrine)! |
This stone says that Miyajima is one of the 3 most scenic areas in Japan. |
A famouse Hiroshima dessert called "momiji manju" (meaning "maple sweet bun") in a Hello Kitty shape. |
Hiroshima is famous for oysters! |
This is the fried momiji manju. This is more like a modern twist of the traditional version. |
Steamed buns with sea eels inside (Hiroshima is also famouse for sea eels). |
We bought one. It was $3.5 (not cheap). The taste was OK. |
First we had our lunch at a nearby restaurant. My husband ordered the rice bowl with sea eels. |
I ordered the rice bowl with oysters. |
