Himeji Castle’s grandeur left us in awe as we basked in the beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom. Hiroshima’s poignant sites like the A Dome and museum left an indelible mark on us. Rain came and went, but it couldn’t dampen our spirits. Miyajima greeted us with a stunning low tide, allowing us to walk out to the iconic Tori gate, followed by a delightful Kaiseki dinner featuring Hiroshima oysters at Iwaso Inn. Bonding over shared experiences, we’re becoming a tight-knit group.
Our adventures continued with hands-on experiences like making Momiji manju and trying our hand at wagashi. Despite a missed opportunity with the Miyajima Ropeway, extra shopping time was a welcome bonus. Zooming off to Kyoto on the swift Shinkansen, the Miyako Hotel’s convenience was a cherry on top, granting us more time for exploration and culinary delights. From crowded shrines to deer-filled Nara, every moment was very memorable.
