Hikari-machi

Hikari-machi is located in about 5 min. walk from Hana Hostel Hiroshima toward north after crossing a railroad.




There is a 24-hours open supermarket "YOURS".
also there are lots of local restaurants at a reasonable price.

In addition, there are walkway called "Futaba-no-sato",
and peace pagoda at the top of the mountain called "Futaba-yama".

This place is out of neighborhood map, so I visited this place in order to explain much more to our future guests. I went up to the peace pagoda.



Before that I went to Sushi restaurant named "Sushi-ken". They serve 10 pieces of sushi and miso soup in 650 yen.
fresh, cheap, authentic and professional! also they have plenty selection of local sakes. I would reccommend this place for sushi lover!

Began to walk.


Walking direction


Sign at the entrance of peace pagoda



so steep angle on my way that I got tired to easily. My heart was beating so fast.
I knew why because I am not doing regular exercise these days.
I thought I need to start some kind of sports of studet days.(baseball or Japanese archery)


finally came out on top in 20 min.





You can see until Hiroshima port. Perhaps I can see firework festival in summer from here.



I would surely go there again by motorcycle,not on foot.
I recommend Hikari-machi if you are looking for places to look around nearby.

Coup de foudre, the closure of Kappa Zushi

My beloved Kappa zushi (Kawaramachi sanjo) is closing on the 30th of June. They have recently invested multilingual touch panel for individual customers thus I was simply pleased to witness the outer appearance of the entourage.

This is a blog to disperse the tragedy and the sense of grief. The foreign customers had to love this place where one can receive a plate of sushi carried by a Shinkansen (bullet train).

Farewell, Comestible a.k.a. sushi san
