In this video, we end time in Japan in the beautiful city of Hiroshima! One of our new favourite spots in Japan! We visit the memorials of the tragic past of the city and pay our respects, but this city has many other wonderful things to offer! Including beautiful Miyajima island (filled with deer, gorgeous nature, sweet treats, and a popular floating shrine) and yummy local dishes including Hiroshima’s version of okonomiyaki. 🥞

Is yeah this is beautiful so this is called the Mickey Kunia guest house yeah I got the salted butter and the sweet red bean paste of these Maple migi menu muu cake things uh it’s popular on the mij island Mima Mima Island so I’ll try this off I think they’re basically
Like little sponge cakes fil filmed with filled with fillings which one’s that salted salted bottle does it have a feel you have a taste it’s pretty good definitely need a coffee of it or something spongy it’s very moist try the red bean filled one that’s the traditional one
I think there’s a lot of people here we got it from this one here you can see them they freshly make them in the window there yeah there’s the ones around the corner it is just
Chocolate for people so we found a more local yeah and there’s a few on the island that them so this is the sweet red bean paste red bean paste sweet red bean yeah oh filling oh yeah
You like this one yeah I love red bean I want the filling there’s wines for this around the corner like people like whining crazy for it oh they’re very soft nice and is nice it’s it’s good
To try at least once away here um popular food of the area yeah it’s good to try the locals what they have here wow yeah I need a coffee please just wash it down but taste Wise It’s
Good it’s moist it’s soft it’s again not too sweet no we find all the sweets in Japan they the right amount of sweet nothing is too sugary no so no it’s not bad I wouldn’t say it’s like
Crazy jumping Joy but well I really like it the wines for it though don’t add up to The Taste but I guess it’s cuz it’s a the local thing that they do here I would line up for it it
Depends on your taste though I don’t think it’s appealing to you no but hey it’s good to try it’s nice I finished it so that tells you something yeah there we go all good I’m going to keep walking what are you doing free tea free tea what is placees do free tea
It’s funny I mean maybe you do have to buy a Mana well technically we [Music] did what’s up buddy what’s up buddy you swallow a [Music] duck oh he’s crying [Music] I don’t if you can hear that but he a sorry buddy it’s all
[Music] right you have to find some berries we know allow to feed you here well see [Laughter] you so about to show you the famous um floating Tory that people come to see it’s low tide now so a lot of people are right in front of
It I’ll just move over to the left side in a second so you can see there it is so obviously high tide this is all full of water but yeah everyone’s out taking photos to get closer it’s such a beautiful island we’ve only been been here for an
Hour as Sunset goes a lot of people cuz a lot of tourists come here for a day trip so they’ll end up going back to catch the fery while we are staying the night so
It’ll be less and less people as time goes on uh 5 it’s 5:30 so I think the last fair is on [Music] soon He [Music] so as the sun has set the tourists have mostly gone there’s de behind us raming the streets pretty much got the streets to ourselves just walking around exploring yeah so if you’re stay
In the night or day trip a lot of things do shut around 4: to 600 so make sure you pack or bring a dinner there some some hotels I will say I think provide dinner or there is like a select
Handful of restaurants open but there was one before but it had a bit of a l yeah and that’s the thing the ones that are open there two or three not even that just they’ll be a away cuz
It’s just packed or we just pack we just got some meals from 7even 7-Eleven and we’re going to heat them up at our guest house cuz it’s got yeah just so we’re going to have that while when we
Come back but um yeah it’s just cool going around and just walking around the town all the lights are on it’s good there’s a lot of the tourists are G so you kind of just enjoy some quiet yeah
I think after the busy cities we’ve gone is that a cat little animals ramming around checking out the vending machines there a alcohol one hey yeah that’s cool aloh vending [Music] machine Oh so got up this morning and tried to find breakfast and um walked around town found the curry bread which is really good didn’t record it cuz you know don’t have to record everything just like to enjoy some time enjoying the holiday but this is what it looks like in the
Mornings without any tourists around and water so you get a good shot the water the Tide’s in very quiet and peaceful the deers are out raming around lot of the shops here open from 8:30 9:30 [Music] onwards [Music] sh
So we are now on the rad car going to mount n and um we decided to do the Rope car cuz it is towards the end of the trip and we are very fragile and tired we didn’t bring our hiking
Boots either no I think we’ll walk down the trail see how we go yeah walk down the trail there like a bit of a a bit of a comfort purchase for us to do but we get to rest and take a take the viewing
This is the back view and then we got the the Sea View back there but yeah we are feeling it today very tired and low energy but we are loving this island it is very very nice Island a lot of the
People on it too it’s very chilled really cool very chilled love to come back and do a lot of the other Trails cuz it’s like this is just one mountain viewpoint but I know that there’s a lot
Of trails that go so back on the island too yeah so yeah we’re just going to take it easy go for a walk and see the temples up on the mountain and um yeah we’ll just try and beat the the
Herd of our tour groups we saw a bunch of tour groups come in today going to the floating T it is only 9:30 so maybe they’ll be coming up the this roadway a bit later so yeah so we always
Try and get get to things early so you know we can take ups and take in the views and enjoy it because this time of year tour groups yeah I mean it’s it’s good they they’re doing the same
Thing as us just they’re just bigger forms than us and yeah they just yeah anyway they just like to walk in front of a lot of things and they just take over a lot you can’t really see much but that’s just part of traveling we don’t mind we’re very patient but that’s why
We wake up early and do our best to get to Things Early the way to travel but yeah so Oh made it to the observatory it’s about a 30 minute walk if you walk fast probably 20 get 360 views up here bit puffed out cuz there’s a bit of an incline but it’s pretty easy though bit dry
Today nice 360 views all those little lines you see in the water that oy of farms must been like a cross country a lot of school kids running up here that’s gorgeous up here this Shelby bit hazy though but at least you get a [Music] view so we have decided to hike back down so taking the Rope car you got you got quite busy up there school kids just kept coming so I couldn’t record uh some of the stuff uh some
Of the footage going down cuz school kids off school kids but anyway we’re walking back down now and it’s very peaceful it’s about a 2 km hike from the top down to where we’re going so what’s it called I think we land at uh day showing Temple D sh Temple beautiful Temple
Yeah so you going to check out check that out then we’ll make our way back into the town grab something to eat and then we’re going to go to a local cafe which Our Guest House recommended
That does really good local style Omar rice yeah not like the fancy one you see an inst but like home style cooking PR of us stuff we like we love the home style perfect right now we love Homestyle
Kind of places so like the place we stayed in yesterday was very Homestyle you had dinner and it was a communal space and we met a few people it was a good night very nice people doing the
Same thing as us traveling and adventuring around exploring but yeah so the terrain on this is is pretty it’s not too hard I think it easy pretty easy walk down yeah it is pretty easy it’s I
Think it all just depends on your obviously your Fitness level and the weather so than you and if you’ve had a very hectic two weeks in Japan yeah no well we weren we were going to decide to take
The r car down but I think we just had a second wind and we just thought oh let’s just walk down and it’s nice as you see a lot of sits on the way down and different different things to see haven’t
Seen a monkey yet I don’t know if there’s monkeys on this island I didn’t but you do get a view of Hiroshima City and the town that we we’re in me Jima on the top on the top do observation deck so
It’s quite nice bit hazy today but still doesn’t stop us you see there’s a bit of a view there so still still got to go down see we bit to go so we have made it to the cafe being recommended to it
Very home style which we love and notice this is it here all dirt flaws and whatnot and you got well I’m not going to just calm down mate some of them friendly some of them be like who
Are you got some deers around so was trying to get photo keep walking in a shot so yeah this is it a beautiful weria Vines oh this is yeah much rather this are like popular expensive touristy restaurants
Even though they’re probably good but we love the home style stuff cuz you get little nature gems like this so we got the traditional mmy rice does look a bit different than the on you see on Instagram but this is very home style this is a home style one give it a [Music]
Taste oh okay after H this H this is damn you guys you got to you got to come here this is really good oh my goodness how much flavor in this this is like this place if you’re hiking it’s called Yura [Music] CH yeah yeah that one there little this is really [Music] good [Music] so I just got my OKO [Music] Min huge thing H special [Music] cabbage it’s got It’s got cabbage Sprouts pork egg deep fried batter rice cake cheese and noodles so you heard that that’s what’s put in it and then Shel
This is a Hiroshima special this is what Hiroshima is known for is the in AR I’m just showing taking to a saw the sign here it is that’s the uh just absolutely annihilated as you can see that’s the the hole there and
It’s just turned everything into Rubble it’s not what such man-made device can do killing innocent people it’s very sad over a wall you can read the history about it read everything behind it I’m just showing you what I’m looking at and what I’m seeing and the
Signs that I’ve read but it is one thing being at a site like this is to take it in and just imagine yourself cuz you look at you look at this and then you look at the
City and it’s like tall buildings and lots of people and um it’s just crazy how it it just it comes it came back like the city came back which is good but people do come here even
Locals come here as a reminder walk for you and just to see what the city what happened in 1945 so walking around the Memorial Park it’s quite eerie and I think what makes Eerie is the with the weather it’s very dark and rainy just the burial mound so there’s different spots
Where you can see different things that they’ve set up um was like there was the little rocket shaped like thing with the kid on top that was in memory of all the kids that suffered um the uh they suffered cancer from the radiation after the bombing and then this
Is theic Bomb Memorial atomic bomb Memorial Mound here which was what I just showed you before it’s the memorial there very sad walking through here it and Shelby was just saying before I mean you know you heard
About the Hiroshima um atomic bomb here that went off but when you’re here and you you read more about it you you you you really it’s hard to take yeah you you know the details and and it’s it’s
Hard to put into words like when you actually hear and seeing these sites it’s very [Music] sad [Music] Shelby and a looking at all these old school cameras well that’s us done here in hoshima then you sp and you we got what half a day
And a night uh to explore but we saw enough we like herim that’s a beautiful city speak the speaker is coming in yeah so we’re about to take the bullet train again got our bags packed um so one last 7-Eleven yeah didn’t get the benter box
