I had a 3 days vacation, a chance to go to an adventure again..

11.23 ( Friday ) 7:30am - Left for Hiroshima. I was not able to get a night bus on the 22nd , it seems like the people from Osaka are going to Hiroshima.

1:00pm - bus was 30mins. late from the schedule arrival. Met up with N on Hiroshima Station and proceed to Kintaikyo Bridge in Yamaguchi Prefecture, which is considered to be one of Japan’s Most Beautiful Bridge.

It was really amazing. Crossing the bridge is not free though. Went up to the Castle, which was reconstructed around early 50’s ( I think ) on its original location since the original was torn down by ordered of Tokugawa Ieyasu cause he only wants to have one castle in each area. The view of Iwakuni from the Castle’s upper room was amazing.

Went back to Hiroshima around 6pm to meet up with Y and had Tsukimen for dinner. It’s a ramen which is eaten like a soba, meaning the noodles is separated from its sauce, just dip it in
