Hiroshima and Miyajima




I took the Kinetsu Semi-Express to Namba Station.  Then I transferred to the Midosuji subway line.  I went to Shin Osaka and caught the Shinkasen to Hiroshima.  




Then I took a street car to the Peace Memorial Park.


This the remains of the dome that was destroyed during the WWII atomic bombing of Hiroshima.



The dome from across the river.  The park is really quite lovely.


Between the Centograph and the dome is the Flame of Peace.


After the Peace Park I took a ferry to Miyajima.


This is the Miyajima Itsukushima Shrine gate that appears to be floating in the water.



The Ituskushima Shrine.
