Hello this is Kana from Hiroshima Hana Hostel.
It is already in June and we are about to get into rainy season. We call it as "TSUYU".
After Tsuyu, Summer will begin!!! Can't wait to go to beach with nice cold beers!

Japan is an island country which is surrounded by the sea. So we have many different kinds of sea animal, and also they are very close to our life. I love sea animal, especially Turtle, dolphin and  penguin!!

Here is a great news for the people like me. 
There will be brand new Aquarium which will open on June 24th (Sat) !!

It is located right middle of BIG shopping mall which is quite interesting. So you can enjoy both at one time!
Also right next to shopping mall, there is a beautiful walk side with Harbor.
So actually you can enjoy walk along beautiful harbor, enjoy Lunch at shopping mall and enjoy aquarium with lovely sea animals!
