We have an actual plan for our Hiroshima trip! Cheers! An actual plan! With schedules, and maps, and expenses, and details! Cheers! hohoho.

I did some actual research this time.

Each destination is only a few minutes away from the next (less than 10mins or even a little under 5mins!)

EAT: momiji manju, Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, maybe some oysters too?, deer shit (oh yes, just a name though - it's actually a type of crunchy chocolate)
