Hiroshima and Miya Jima Island


We took our three hour bullet train trip down to Hiroshima and Miya Jima Island in October.

This is the A-bomb memorial with the A-bomb dome in the back ground.
The museum in Peace Park.
...
The bomb exploded directly over this building which used to be a city expo center.

I guess I took a lot of these.
Miya Jima Island is only a hop skip and a jump from Hiroshima. This was taken from the ferry on the way to the island.
The Japanese coast line
This is the famous tori on Miya Jima Island.
Katie looking picturesque along with the rest of the landscape.
This is said to be one of the top three prettiest views of Japan.
Here is the shrine on Miya Jima Island on the next day.
The land entrance to the shrine. The tori is the official entrance.
That would be a pagoda of some sort and of some type of fame...
