Today I was supposed to go on an excursion to the memorial, but for some reason it was canceled, so I ended up joining Becky on her excursion to Miyajima instead.
Miyajima is an island just off the coast from Hiroshima, that is famous for its floating tori gate and a floating shrine.
It's also famous for its oysters and conger eel. We went into a nice restaurant for lunch and had a proper Japanese meal. I had wagyu beef, Becky tried the conger eel and I had a taste and was pleasantly surprised. I always thought eel would be squelchy, but this was grilled and quite crunchy.
After looking around the island we had deer poop ice cream. Basically, this was an ice cream cone with small chocolate beans on it. Yes, there were deer on the island, but unlike Nara these deer are not considered sacred, so they ask you not to feed them.
