Oyster Festivals in Hiroshima 2013

Oyster season is now here!

We have the biggest oyster farm in Japan in Hiroshima.
From the end of January right through to the end of February just about every little port on the coast hosts its own oyster festival and a visit to at least one is highly recommended if oysters are your thing.
