about…
Upon arriving in Japan, I will travel by bullet train from Tokyo to Hiroshima. This will afford me the opportunity to
see the country side and enjoy (maybe) a bento box.
Bento (弁当 bentō?)[1] is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A
traditional bento holds rice, fish or meat, with pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container.

Open 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM0.50 miles from hotel ¥7300
about…
The Hotel Sunroute Hiroshima is a short walk from the Atomic Bomb Dome and the
Children's Peace Monument.
I had originally planned to take up residence at a capsule hotel, but the heart attack
and its aftermath inspired a new choice. I thought it might be a good idea to
stay at a hotel with a 24-hour front desk and a concierge.
Fortunaltey, the proximity of the Hotel Sunroute Hiroshima to monuments of interests
is as good, or better, than my original selection.

about…
Torii is a casual Japanese restaurant very close to the Istukushima shrine (the Tripadvisor pin is way off the mark!).
Their speciality seems to be is oysters, served in several ways: cooked in their shells on a grill, deep-fried...
I took the grilled ones, that were really big and juicy, one could season them wit local soy sauce-vinegar type sauce.

Hiroshima Castle - Wikipedia
Hiroshima Castle (広島城 Hiroshima-jō?), sometimes called Carp Castle (鯉城 Rijō?),
was a castle in Hiroshima, Japan that was the home of the daimyō (feudal lord) of
the Hiroshima han (fief). The castle was constructed in the 1590s, but was destroyed
by the atomic bombing on August 6 1945. It was rebuilt in 1958, a replica of the
original that now serves as a museum of Hiroshima's history prior to World War II.

This restaurant started 140 years ago cultivating oyster for shipment to then-capital Kyoto. About 50 years ago
they started selling directly to food-lovers in Hiroshima. The restaurant used to be a boat that is now on
permanent pilings next to peace park. The food we had was excellent.

I discovered a video game from Japan called "Flip the table (in anger)." It's about
a father at dinner with his family that has a sort of mental breakdown as his family
and the restaurant staff give him an increasingly more difficult time.
Points are gained by both striking the top of the table and flipping the table upward at
just the right moment. The controller is, in fact, a table-shaped one.
I. Must. Find. This. Game.

It is on the way from Peace Park towards the bridge. I heard that people who were in

The Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum (広島県立美術館 Hiroshima Kenritsu Bijutsukan?) is an art
museum founded in 1968. It was reconstructed in 1996. It is located near Shukkei-en in Hiroshima, Japan.
I had originally planned to visit the Hiroshima Museum of Art, becuase of it's locality to my hotel and
the Children's Peace Monument.
The Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum boasts a larger collection, especially of tradional Japanese art,
so I will visit it, instead.

We had to wait in line or twenty minutes, but our order had already been taken, so the wait for the food
in this packed restaurant was reasonable. One can watch how the food is prepared which I found interesting.
The food itself was excellent and I will certainly return.

So, I thought I might see a professional soccer game. I purchased a ticket yesterday.

about…
A-bomb Dome
The A-Bomb Dome is a symbol of peace which most people have at least seen at one time in a picture.
The building, which was designed by a Czech architect in 1915, had been used as the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial
Promotion Hall.
Because the blast came from almost directly above the building, it was not completely destroyed. The majority of the
blast damage to the city was caused by the lateral shock wave that spread out from the hypocentre of the bomb's detonation.
Atomic Bomb Dome - Dark History
After the war it was eventually decided (after some initial controversy) to preserve the A-Bomb Dome for posterity
as a reminder of the horrors of the bombing. Comprehensive restoration work was necessary on two occasions – in
1967 and in 1989/90. In 1996 the A-Bomb Dome was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Every year, especially on the days surrounding the anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima,
millions of paper cranes are brought to statues of Sadako Sasaki. Simple sheets of paper are transformed into
powerful symbols in the eyes of their makers. Each crane represents the hope that beats in the heart of its
folder for the continuance of a deep and abiding peace.
I will write ‘peace’ on your wings and you will fly all over the world.
