■TripNotes
Spot1:Itsukushima Shrine
Miyajima, one of Japan's most scenic places, is home to the world heritage site, Itsukushima Shrine. The special characteristics of this shrine are its floating Torii gate that stands in the ocean, and the inner sanctuary of the Shrine. At high tide, the Shrine submerges in the water and appears to be floating on the sea in this sacred landscape.
Only in Japan will you find a Noh stage that floats in the sea and this traditional art can be witnessed under the moonlight at night.
Spot2:Daisho-in Temple
Amongst all the temples in Miyajima, the oldest one is the Daihonzan Daisho-in Temple. It's a 20-minute walk from Miyajima Bridge. This place is peaceful and beautiful and from here you can gaze quietly upon the townscape on the other side of the shore.
Enshrined here are various Buddhas, including the Eleven-faced enlightened monk called Avalokitesvara. Bells resound in the entire area and the vibrant autumn colors of the Japanese Maple will cleanse your heart.
Spot3:Hiroshima Peace Memorial
On August 6, 1945 an atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima. This is the only building that survived the atomic bombings and has been preserved in the state it was at the time and was later on opened to the public as Hiroshima Peace Memorial. It was also registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996.
Since 1964, a flame of peace continues to burn at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, where the atomic bomb dome is located, in hope of a world free of nuclear weapons.
Spot3:Orizuru Tower
Orizuru Tower was opened right next to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial in 2016. As a new tourist attraction in the city of Hiroshima, it's a facility devised to convey the past, present and future of Hiroshima. Enjoy panoramic views of Hiroshima city from the Hiroshima-no-oka observation deck.
Food:Oysters
Oysters are a gourmet inseparable from Hiroshima. While winter is the peak season to enjoy delicious oysters, they are available all year round.
There is a variety of oyster dishes available, but if you want to enjoy the original flavor of oysters, raw oysters or baked oysters are recommended. The condensed flavor of freshly baked oysters is especially delicious.

Tram and Ferry to Miyajima Island from Hiroshima
Miyajima Island is only a 10 minute ferry ride from Hiroshima. I'll go out on a limb here and say that every visitor to Hiroshima visits Miyajima at the same time to see the out of the world Tori Gate.
October, 2017
Take a tram (or JR train) to Miyajima-Guchi mainland station, then ferry over in 10 minutes. How easy is that!

Japan / Hiroshima City Part 7
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries. See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Hiroshima:
As of 2006, the city has an estimated population of 1,154,391, while the total population for the metropolitan area was estimated as 2,043,788 in 2000.The total area of the city is 905.08 km², with a population density of 1275.4 persons per km².The population around 1910 was 143,000. Before World War II, Hiroshima's population had grown to 360,000, and peaked at 419,182 in 1942.Following the atomic bombing in 1945, the population dropped to 137,197.By 1955, the city's population had returned to pre-war levels.
Hiroshima has a professional symphony orchestra, which has performed at Wel City Hiroshima since 1963. There are also many museums in Hiroshima, including the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, along with several art museums. The Hiroshima Museum of Art, which has a large collection of French renaissance art, opened in 1978. The Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum opened in 1968, and is located near Shukkei-en gardens. The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, which opened in 1989, is located near Hijiyama Park. Festivals include Hiroshima Flower Festival and Hiroshima International Animation Festival.Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which includes the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, draws many visitors from around the world, especially for the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony, an annual commemoration held on the date of the atomic bombing. The park also contains a large collection of monuments, including the Children's Peace Monument, the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims and many others.
Hiroshima's rebuilt castle (nicknamed Rijō, meaning Koi Castle) houses a museum of life in the Edo period. Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine is within the walls of the castle. Other attractions in Hiroshima include Shukkei-en, Fudōin, Mitaki-dera, and Hijiyama Park.
The atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were conducted by the United States during the final stages of World War II in 1945. The two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date.Following a firebombing campaign that destroyed many Japanese cities, the Allies prepared for a costly invasion of Japan. The war in Europe ended when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on 8 May, but the Pacific War continued. Together with the United Kingdom and the Republic of China, the United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration on 26 July 1945, threatening Japan with prompt and utter destruction. The Japanese government ignored this ultimatum, and the United States deployed two nuclear weapons developed by the Manhattan Project. American airmen dropped Little Boy on the city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, followed by Fat Man over Nagasaki on 9 August.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000--166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000--80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. The Hiroshima prefecture health department estimated that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness. In a US estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15--20% died from radiation sickness, 20--30% from burns, and 50--60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizeable garrison.On 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies, signing the Instrument of Surrender on 2 September, officially ending World War II. The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan's adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding the nation from nuclear armament. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender and their ethical justification are still debated.

Hiroshima Cherry Blossom Viewing (花見) | JAPAN VLOG
Spring is here and the flowers are blooming! That's a huge deal in Japan, especially for cherry blossoms (sakura). Cherry blossom bloom forecasts are made for each region of Japan. Where I live, in Hiroshima, they started blooming a few days into April.
Everyone goes with friends, families and lovers to view the cherry blossoms. This usually includes a picnic under the blooms. This video is from when I went to hanami near Peace Park in downtown Hiroshima. It was so lovely. If you ever come to Japan, make sure to check out the cherry blossoms in the Spring :)

広島市周辺で早く満開になるしだれ桜です。今シーズンの桜の最初の撮影でした。雲が多く、天気がイマイチでしたので昨年のような青空での撮影とは行きませんでした。
完全な満開では有りませんでしたが、八分咲き以上は咲いていたと思います。隣に保育園が有るので子供たちの歓声が賑やかです。

宮島の桜
広島も染井吉野の満開の時期を迎えました。
今日（4月8日）は宮島の桜を観に出掛けました。
日曜日と重なった為、観光客と併せて混雑が予想されます。
宮島口のＪＲ連絡船桟橋は予想通り混み合ってました。
宮島での表参道（商店街）も人の波、外国からの観光客も多く来られてました。
厳島神社は混み合ってた為、参拝を断念し、外回りから五重塔や多宝塔の桜を中心に散策して参りました。
ソメイヨシノや枝垂れ桜が満開で多宝塔の位置する小高い山の上からは
厳島神社とその回廊の光景が当に平安絵巻を眺めてる様で大変見応えがありました。

Minami Koen in Cherry Blossom Season, Fukuoka ???? 福岡市南公園の桜 ???? Japan As It Truly Is
Minami Koen (Minami Park) is another lesser known cherry blossom gem that has a much more peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Unlike more active and crowded cherry blossom spots in Fukuoka, such as Maizuru Koen and Nishi Koen Minami Park gives a quieter and less hectic experience. Some of the best cherry blossoms are near the entrance to the Fukuoka City zoo.

Japan Experience HD From Kyoto to Hiroshima Miyajima Itsukushima - Shopping Street Food Documentario
Una delle tappe più belle dei miei viaggi in Giappone, da Kyoto a Miyajima in treno super veloce (Shinkansen) per immergersi in un'atmosfera tutta particolare. Il santuario e la via dello shopping.
Miyajima: L’isola in cui convivono uomini e dei è un luogo sacro da quando vi fu costruito il santuario di Itsukushima nel 593 d.C. (ma gli edifici risalgono al XII secolo). Questo santuario, dedicato alla dea custode dei mari, ha la caratteristica di essere stato costruito in parte nel mare, con edifici su palafitte e un torii a poche decine di metri al largo. I magnifici scenari, le bellissime spiagge e i sentieri per escursioni rendono l’isola una meta ideale per l’estate. Ma l’isola conserva il suo fascino anche in autunno, con gli aceri dai colori fiammeggianti o in primavera con i ciliegi in fiore. L’isola di Miyajima è stata inserita nell’elenco dei Patrimoni dell’umanità dell’UNESCO.
Da vedere
La porta di Ootorii
La porta di Ootorii è il simbolo di Miyajima. Il torii è costruito in legno di canfora verniciato di color rosso vermiglio. I pilastri principali sono alti circa 17 metri e hanno una circonferenza di 10 metri. Nonostante sembri saldamente piantato nel terreno, si erge solo grazie al proprio peso sulla sabbia. Il torii si trova in mare, a 200 metri dal santuario e, con la bassa marea, è possibile accedervi a piedi.
10 minuti a piedi dall’imbarcadero.
