I leave early morning for the train station as I need to sort out my JR Pass - a pre-paid tourist rail pass that allows unlimited travel on Japan Rail lines across the whole of Japan for two weeks. The journey to Hiroshima is just over 200 miles and I’m in Hiroshima in under two hours with just one change in Osaka. I take a deep breath and head on over to the Hiroshima Peace Park and Atomic Bomb museum.
Upon leaving I took a long drawn out sigh and had to sit down for a while. There’s a lot to take in, lots of numbers and statistics of casualties that is impossible to truly comprehend.
That’s enough for me and I move on to brighter things such as the Shimanami Kaido and Miyajima - for Mount Misen and the Floating Tori.
