It took about an hour and a half from Tokyo to Hiroshima by airplane.
We made a visit to the famous Itsukushima Shrine.
This beautiful shrine complex is listed as a World Heritage Site.
The first shrine was founded in 593! Long history. The present shrine dates from the mid-16th Century.
The gate, or torii, looked beautiful. At high tide, the torii looks like it is floating in the sea.
We did not forget to enjoy the local cuisine, Hiroshima-stye okonomiyak, Japanese pancake!
We flew back to Tokyo via ANA's latest Boeing 787!
No
shades on the window. Instead, there's a button to adjust the amount of
outside light streaming into the cabin. It was a high-tech airplane!
