Since my main reason for going was to see the lit up ootorii at Miyajima, we left a little before noon.
Just so we'll arrive in time for some Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki!
After we arrived at Hiroshima station, we got a day pass card for the "chin-chin" train.
We chose to go to Mitchan because I like thinly cut cabbage and crispy noodles.
It's like an assembly line, where the guys all do different things.
Menu.
I got the 4th one from the top, the "Tokusei Special With Soba."
It has meat, egg, squid, shrimp, tenkasu, mochi, and yakisoba.
This is mine.
I spelled my name with mayonnaise.
This is Y's. Her's is the same thing, except using udon instead of yakisoba.
We then left for the Peace Memorial Park.

Peace Clock Tower:
We didn't stay at the park for long.
We got back on the chin-chin to go to Miyajima.
We rode the JR ferry.
We could see the ootorii and the shrine from our ferry.
This is during low tide.
This is the first sign I saw when I got off the ferry.
It sounds like pasta!
There was a deer on the wall eating stuff.
It was pretty amazing.
Butts!
Huge shamoji.
The sign translated it as "rice spoon."
Bathroom sign.
You're not supposed to dig for clams inside the ootorii.
A picture I took from right under.
Itsukushima Shrine.
It says to please not wash your feet.
Fried momiji manju.
It was actually good.
Oysters.
This is what I came for!
It was so good we had seconds.
Ootorii at sunset.
Ootorii at night.
A boat goes under it.
The reflection on the water makes it look pretty.
Sorry it's so blurry; I didn't have a tripod.
We had anago rice for dinner.
When we got back to Osaka, we were sooooo tired we called for a massage service.
The ladies who came were pretty, so it must be one of those hentai massages.
So they had it easy with us, because we only wanted normal massages.
