Hiroshima Oyster Road

Hi Konnichiwa from Hiroshima Hana hostel. It's Kana here.
It is freezing here in Hiroshima much more than last year. I can't stand for it any more already...missimg you, Summer...

Do you like OYSTER??? Oyster in Hiroshima is really famous in Japan. The best season for it is  in winter. So even though I do not really like winter, I can't wait  winter to have the oyster.
I strongly recommend one place for oyster lovers like me.

KAKIGOYA(Oyster house) is opened for only winter season.
From: 2014/Oct 18th ~ not yet determined
Time:10:30am-21:00

It is located in Ujina area which is about 30minutes by tram from Hiroshima station.

At first, you need to pick up what you want. Oyster comes like this. So you can choose! Find big one!

There are many variety of sea foods, not only oyster!!

Such as Scallop, turban shell, prawn, eel and so on.

The best part is you can cook yourself!! It is great fun.

I went there 3 of us, and spent about 2000yen each and made us full and not feel like eating oyster for a while even I love it.
Please enjoy the best Oyster in Hiroshima!! You should NOT miss this opportunity!!

Autumn leaves in Miyajima

Hello, this is Tomomi from Hiroshima Hana.

These days, it is getting cold in the night and in the morning…summer is over.

However, that means that the best season to visit Miyajima is coming soon!

Miyajima is famous for its autumn leaves. They will start turning red and yellow from November and the best period to experience that is from the middle to the end of November.

For the best pictures of the colorful leaves we recommend Momijidani Park. The Park is stretching along the Momijidani river near the valley at the foot of Mount Misen. There are around 200 trees waiting for you (about 20 min by foot from the Miyajima ferry port).

Enjoy the beautiful autumn colors in Miyajima!
