First stop was Himeji Castle. Simply amazing grounds and a magnificent garden.
The gardens are famous grounds of another beautiful castle - Korakuen gardens at Okayama Castle.
Browsed through a lovely old precinct called Kurashiki in the morning. Lovely buildings well preserved. The area is famous for its Japanese denim.
Ferry to Miyajima Island and a visit to the famous Itsukushima Shinto shrine. Spectacular views across the bay. Lots of oysters for sale. Those oysters are seriously huge!!
Hiroshima War Memorial. We walked through the museum. Such a lot to read and a tribute to the folk who lost their lives. We dropped off our paper cranes at the kids memorial. Literally millions there. Think they must burn some and add the ashes to the rose gardens.
