Look at the size of these grilled oysters in Mijayima.
Now, imagine the exquisite taste. Now, imagine the price of each unit. Half of it. Half again… How much do you say?
Tokyo has skyline too. But it is quite weird, as it is a mix of icons of other places… This picture shows three typical Tokyo spots, non related at all, with New York, or Paris…
Last stop in the trip was in Kobe. It was improvised the last morning. So, we changed our tickets to be able to stop in Kobe, and we spent a couple of hours in this city, famous for another sad event. A big earthquake in 1999. 6000 people died, and half of the city was destroyed, but now it’s almost impossible to see what it was destroyed.
Here, we just took a sightseeing bus to see the city, but we spent most of the time in a restaurant enjoying the famous Kobe beef.
Incredibly good. No further comments.
After Hiroshima, we also went to Mijayima, which is an island very close to Hiroshima, which combines temples and nature.
It has the famous torii, which sometimes is in the water…
… and others in the mud.
The island was considered sacred, and normal people couldn’t go to the temple walking, but only on boat. Therefore, they had to go through this gate in the water, so they didn’t step outside the temple.
Apart from that, this island has a very nice mountain with lots of nature that you can either climb, or take a ropeway.
Guess what we chose, in such a hot and warm day…
Now, I can say I have climbed more mountains in Japan than in Spain. ^_^
