Hiroshima Part 3

Our last day in Hiroshima was quite short. Since we only had half a day, we decided to go to the nearby city of Onomichi, which is known for its large collection of temples and shrines.

 


Also at the top of the mountain was a hiking course. Along the course were several boulders with poems carved into them.


After the tiring climbing, we decided to go back down the mountain. First, though, we had to pay our respects to the stationmaster...

Of course it's a cat. This is Japan.
After descending the mountain, we set off to find lunch. It was very easy to figure out what we were going to eat; this town is well known around Japan for its Onomichi ramen.

The ramen did not stand a chance against me.
And so it was time for us to go back. We got our luggage and headed to Hiroshima station to catch our Shinkansen back home.
