宮島ー厳島神社
This morning I met an old friend Yuka, from when I was living in Osaka. We hadn't seen eachother in over a year so we had a lot to talk about. As the weather was nice we headed to Miyajima which is quite close to where I am living. The deers were all out and about and saw a tourists map being eaten by one! I hope he managed to find his way home! We had lunch at a small Japanese style restaurant and ate some local fish. Afterwards we had a walk around the various temples and pagodas. On the way back we stopped at a traditional Japanese tea house for some Macha and Chikara-mochi. The wind picked up in the afternoon which made the short ferry trip back to the mainland a tad rough. Since Yuka was in Hiroshima there was no better way to taste the local food than having Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki which has noodles rather than cabbage. Personally I prefer Kansai-style so we went to Tokugawa where they have both and the best thing is that you can make it yourself! A great day!
