Hiroshima Toshogu Shrine

The weather is a lovely 15* today (compared to the lows of 6 the previous few days), so I’ve decided to take this afternoon to complete the shrine hike up the mountain behind the Hiroshima Toshogu Shrine. This 4KM hike snakes up the mountain and ends at the peace pagoda.

On the walk back down I met 4 English speaking tour guides who were plotting a new tour up the mountain hike. They invited me to a Japanese tea ceremony on the side of the mountain and even taught me calligraphy with proper ink and brush- was a fantastic experience!もっと詳しく
