About Miyazima.

Hello! I am Shiori, one of the member of the aiesec in Kyoto.

Monika and Manish, do you know Hiroshima? In fact, Hiroshima is my hometown. So, I would like to write a little about Hiroshima.

Hiroshima is famous for the two World Heritages, the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Miyazima(宮島). Today I talk about the Miyazima.

Miyazima is most beautiful in this season, autum. There are a lot of maple trees(もみじ) and all of them turn red. The landscape impresses you very deeply. Also, the torii(鳥居) which is very big and red and stands in the sea, and the Itsukushima Shrine(厳島神社) are beautiful, too. I recommend you to see the torii with the rising sun or the evening sun. You are attracted more deeply.

Momizi Manjus(もみじ饅頭), maple-shaped buns, are popular sweets in Hiroshima, especially in Miyazima. Most of the visiters buy it for themselves, family, or friends. There are a lot of shops selling them and they have various fillings. The most popular one is a bean-jam. Also custard, chocolate cream, cream cheese, and so on are filled in them. In fact, there are also the fried ones and the ones with soft and raw coating. All of them are very tasty.

If you want to hear more about Miyazima and Hiroshima, do not hesitate to ask me.

Thank you for reading! Good bye!
