On day 19 of my first Japan trip in 2006, after breakfast at the Ryokan, I went back to Okayama and then by Shinkansen to Hiroshima. Seeing the A-Bomb Dome and the Peace Memorial Museum left a lasting impression. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Moving on from Kobe, day 17 of my first Japan trip in 2006 was mostly spent exploring Himeji Castle. Thankfully, the rain had stopped for the day. The scenery and the cherry blossoms were glorious.

Having arrived in Osaka from Kyoto the night before, I headed outside on day 15 of my first Japan trip in 2006. It was raining heavily, so I spent a few hours at Kaiyukan Aquarium. In the evening after the rain had stopped, I took a short walk around Umeda.
