Japan trip - Miyajima island.

Mr M took a week off from work, and we decided to go back to Japan to visit his family in Hiroshima and Fukuoka. We arrived at Hiroshima first and it wasn't as cold as we thought. The flight arrived at night and we took bus and train my father-in-law's house. 

The next day, we had lunch with my father-in-law at nearby shopping mall. Later in the afternoon. I had a hair cut and the hair dresser was Mr M's junior high school mate. The hair cut took about an hour and half, and it's just in time for a reunion dinner gather with his other junior high school mate, who is a chief and his childhood friend. The chief friend made us lots of delicious Japanese pub food, and I had some lovely cold sake, it was all wonderful and fun to catch up with old friends of his. I love being around with friends and talk about bits and bots. 

We went to Miyajima Island on the 2nd day. Friends of Mr M live on the island and invited us to stay over. The next day, we walked around the island, it was so cold and windy, but the island itself is yet so beautiful and the wild deers made me smile. 


We were so lucky to see a bridge of rainbow.
 
And a traditional Japanese wedding in the temple. 

It was very different from the western wedding. The whole ambience of the ceremony was calm, no cheering. 
I tried the eel bun and it was delicious. 
 
Trying fresh musel is a must, it's fresh and juicy.


I am sure I will be visiting  Miyajima island again. X
