Hi.This is Ena from Hiroshima Hana Hostel.
Here in Hiroshima, it is in the middle of spring.

  I feel like going out on a trip somewhere on such a nice day!

  
Where do you plan to go in Hiroshima?  The Peace Park? Miyajima island?
  If you have free time in Hiroshima,in the eastern part of Hiroshima,
there is a small town,Onomichi  which has lots of wild cats.
They are having an exhibition about cats from Mar 18th to May 7th 
at the museum in Senkouji park.（千光寺公園）

There are more than 240 works of cats at the exhibition.
Also, you can enjoy face painting on May 5th.(from 1PM +200yen)

If you are a fan of them, this is the one for you!Why don't you visit Onomichi to mingle with wild cats and enjoy the art of them?🐈

Hi, this is Tomomi from Hiroshima HANA!

Have you ever been to Iwakuni?

In iwakuni, there is Kintaikyo bridge which is the longest natural wooden arch bridge in the world and one of the three most excellent bridge in japan.

Annual festival held at Kintaikyo and it will be the 40th festival this year.

The Daimyo Procession with the Daimyo’s alternate attendance and the Yakko Dochu, Nanjyo Dance are held during this festival. People dressed in samurai costumes parade through the castle town and shoot targets reenacting ancient times. The Iwakuni infantry was organized by Ishida Mitsunari centuries ago. Today, the gunmen are volunteers demonstrating the history of Iwakuni for the townspeople and tourists.

Why don't you visit there!??:)

Hello from Hiroshima Hana Hostel, It's Kana here.
Speak of Spring in Japan is Cherry blossom and it's about be in full bloom now. Do not miss it if you are in Japan!!! It is worth a lot more than you think!

Onomichi is one of my favorite place in Hiroshima.
Takes only half hour from Hiroshima Station by Shinkansen. Good for day trip.
Onomichi is surrounded by beautiful Ocean and Mountain. Not big city so if you have enough for busy big city, Onomichi is the one! I go there often especially this time of season. Because Onomichi is famous for bicycle riding　 across small island to the other small island.
