Day 8: part 2: day 6, 7 and 8: In Hiroshima and after 
Ok, Here goes.. First, few more views from the way on Hiroshima!

Mountain top highway


Perfect place for birdnest? the lamp before shop door, of course..


I finally made my way to Hiroshima. From the top of the mountain, it was all downhill. But anyways, I decided to take one days rest and go to a proper hotel too, since I wanted to take bath. Also it was raining on Friday, so I didn't want to go forward.

So on Friday, day 6, I just strolled Hiroshima and rested, and went to an okonomiyaki restaurant again.

It was a small place, and everyone was very nice to me! One guy paid for my food and drinks even. I had much fun there, talking about many many things. Thanks a lot, Doi-san, Masaoka-san, Miyamoto-san!

On day 7, I continued towards Kyuushuu. A bit before Miyajima, someone passed me by bicycle and said hi. I saw he had a lots of stuff too.. So in the next traffic lights I asked where he was coming from. He told me he quit his job 3 weeks ago and left Tohoku and was now going to Miyajima. We travelled together to Miyajima where he took the ferry and I continued forward. Thanks Ryou-san!


The rest is just some random sceneries and a local festival.








OK, That's all! See you again! ^^

Back up... 
There were some problems with the server for almost a week, fault of the company I'm renting the server from, they didn't react to my mail until I sent them mail again today.

I'll maybe write more later! anyways, I've been terrible blogger, sorry!

You can expect something interesting in the coming few months I hope though!

And finally, the Hiroshima update 
OKay, so few pics from the trip I made to Hiroshima last week. They are not really in chronological order or anything, sorry for that..

Hope you enjoy.



The room at the hostel/hotel. It was unexpectedly quite spacy.


On the trip by bus to Hiroshima, there was few stops at places which reminded me of resting spots in Germany's Autobahns.


In Hiroshima castle's yard: Close-up of a tree that survived the atomic bombing; I think these leaves differ on this branch because of mutations!


Hiroshima castle shrine; childrens crying competition announcement.


Main tower of Hiroshima castle, so small, compared to Osaka and Himeji castles. But still so big.


Hiroshima Peace memorial park; flower festival going on. Those cranes are some kind of symbols of peace.


厳島神社(Itsukushima shrine) in Miyajima. This is the "Ootorii", gate to the shrine, built into sea.


Same as above, but ebb had come.


Some poor boats ashore because of ebb.


HUGE, old tree! and whole bunch of deers! Those deers were everywhere in Miyajima.


"Mysterious" view from Miyajima out to the sea, people collecting some kind of sea alga.


View over Miyajima town, 5-storey pagoda too.


Exactly 100 steps to a small shrine; I counted them as I walked back down.


One of the biggest surprises; Hiroshima station building had same nickname as I do.


This is from the flower festival; Just to show a bit how much people there was.


Street car! (Ratikka!) In Japan, only in Hiroshima I heard.


原爆ドーム(A-bombed dome) at night, spooky isn't it. The atom bomb dropped exploded 600~700 meters above this dome.


You can fix anything with this tape! Even a bridge.


And a view with me in it, taken from the actual Itsukushima shrine.

That's all for now!
Questions to the comments, please!
