Sunset from Seto Inland Sea

Hello
I went to see the sunset from KURE PORT PIA PARK.
It's about 30mins. by JR train from Hiroshima station
and it's right in front of the station.

However, at that time it was kind of cloudy.
First it was okay but...

It hid in the cloud just as I thought...

But still, it was really nice.

Kumi's recommendation

Today I'd like to recommend a sweets from Miyajima called
"Age Momiji".　Which means "Fried Momiji".


Momiji Manju is our local sweets from Miyajima. (top picture)


If you fry this, it's called Age Momiji.
It's really delicious!!

You can get these in Miyajima Island or near the ferry terminal.
I often go to the one in the Island.

Once you eat it, you'll never forget this taste!

YUKATA FESTIVAL is over!

Even though it rained so hard on the 2nd day, still many people were in this festival.

We put on yukata on the last day of Yukata Festival.

I hope our guests enjoyed it!









This is the back side of yukata.

There are many ways to tie Obi.







Yukata is summer Kimono.
You can buy it really cheap.
Maybe from \2000 !!

Let's go to the new baseball studium!

Hi ! how are you?

It has been humid recently which is too bad...
But this means,Sammar is coming soon;) I can't wait!




A couple of days ado," 2 of our staff went to the new baseball studium with one of our regular guest (Tada san) and his friend .
It was my first time going there.
We watched the game from `COCA COLA seats' We had some food and drinks that we could bring to the table like a party.

We bougt some carp doughnuts , but they didn't taste great .
It was fun to eat anyway.
