Fruit Picking in September.

A wide variety of apples, such as Fuji, Tsugaru and Jonagold, make it possible to pick for a relatively long period of time. Choose brightly-colored applies in good locations in the sun.

▲Hiroshima▲ You shouldn't miss,,,,,!!

Hi there!!Today I'll　introduce my favorite's places to you.
Both of this place,you could feel relax and spend some slow-paced time there.


　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　「Hiroshima World peace Memorial Cathedral」

World peace Memorial Cathedral　built by　Murano Togo.Besides,the Cathedral is designated as important cultural properties in Japan.

Actually, I do not really care about religion,just like this architecture and beauty.
When the daylight　comes through the stained glass and it looks like a　abstract.
You can feel free to visit and go in there.(they are closed at 17:00)




And another place is Cafe which is called 「ORUGANZA」
The cafe is located really close from J-Hoppers Hiroshima and plus there are open till late!
They serve good food,drink and throw a party almost every weekend!!




Especially I like atmosphere of the cafe.The cafe is decorated with retro furnishings,wallpaper and goods.Also they often display some art works artist from Hiroshima.
