Onomichi Out & About

Hello everyone,

we've been really lucky with the weather in Hiroshima recently, haven't we!

A while ago, on one of those mild and sunny autumn days, I set out to explore one of Mihara's closest neighbours, just a train-hop away: Onomichi. For most travellers from outside of Japan, Onomichi isn't a name you would find on your typical travel itinerary. As I learned recently, it is actually a pretty popular destination among domestic tourists, though--and for good reason!

A labyrinth of narrow, winded roads, some quite excentric architecture, and numerous temples and shrines nestled along the hills make for a unique and athmospheric scenery. It's always a pleasure to just follow that small passage, turn that next corner left and happen upon interesting and fascinating things along the way.

According to a Japanese friend, this was one of the shooting locations for the movie "Tenkousei" (The Transfer Student).

紅葉!

昨日は、仏通寺に紅葉を見に行ってきました。雨男と雨女なので、天気が微妙でしたが、到着して雨が止み、満喫した頃に降り出すというある意味お天気に恵まれました。もみじを楽しむたくさんの方々に混ざり、今シーズン初の紅葉を味わうことができました!
