After a day of planes and trains we spent today with Janet and Michael exploring Hiroshima. First a beautiful garden called Shukkeien, rebuilt after the bomb exactly as it had been for the centuries before. Then we went to Hiroshima castle - a tall wooden pagoda-style building surrounded by a moat, it was encircled by fast food stalls, Japanese style. Then we went to the Dome, the bomb was detonated just above it. We then went to the Memorial Museum. Very sad things to see there. Then we had some train adventures and got to Kyoto this evening.
