A Day in Hiroshima and Miyajima

PART ONE: Getting There… (January 2025)

There’s restaurants in Hiroshima Station!

Momiji manjū is a type of wagashi that is baked. The confection is a buckwheat and rice cake shaped like a Japanese maple leaf, and is a local specialty on the island of Itsukushima (Miyajima) in Hiroshima. It is typically filled with red bean paste

We enjoyed our lunch at Kanawa ASSE かなわ, Unfortunately it appears to be permanently closed now 🙁

PART TWO: The Atomic Bomb Dome, Children’s Monument and Peace Memorial Park
