Eating Local Food of MIYAJIMA in HIROSHIMA 

Thank you Jan!

Thank you

Thank you Shinichi for showing us Japan during these times. I'm looking forward to the time when we can go back and see your beautiful country.

Thank you. Stay safe as well my friend

Oh god i remembered 2019 visit in japan

That’s so nice. Congratulations!!!

@@Shinichisworld Thank you! It’s such a lovely place, hopefully we’ll get back there one day

Yes I noticed that too… a beach with trees! Spectacular!

I believe next year it should be completed. Not exactly sure when though

Thanks. I found these masks from a random store. They are disposable masks that are to be thrown away at the end of the day. Super comfy. I like them

Most people take trams in this city.

Shinichi probably films several weeks ahead and if you take a look at the temperatures at the locations, they weren’t really beach friendly. Also, it’s certainly not healthy to be outside on the beach/exposed to sun in the middle of the day - a tan is a burn which increases wrinkles and burns each time you get tanned etc- and Japanese people value their skin. People with white skin who live with very hot temperatures don’t go swimming/beach relaxing in the day, they have lunch inside and work. They go out in the evening to socialise on cafes. The exceptions seems to be Uk people, US people, Brazilians and a few others lol and those are the ones that looks like fried red lobsters. UV is high during the spring and the winter skin don’t do well with it as it starts over from zero protection each spring. Also, a lot of people find it plain boring to spend hours at the beach past childhood. It’s also very easy to overheat in hot temperatures as a senior. Many people like to walk around as well. It feels natural and we need to move to feel healthy. People like to discover new locations by foot. It’s not a covid thing :)

Not a silly question at all. Sunbathing isn’t a thing here in Japan. kids might play in the water though. We do have beaches that are more for swimming etc. they are designated as beaches and have facilities like changing rooms, vendors, lifeguards etc. you’ll find people laying on the beach, swimming etc at those places.

It’s like a smaller version of Kabukicho. I think the vibe is very similar

Yes you can. Hope you can visit one day!

@@Shinichisworld Thanks Shinichi we will be there in August 2023 . Any recommendations for hotel & dining in Hiroshima . We are thinking booking 3 nights at Sheraton Grande Hiroshima .thanks in advance

Any shops close once a week, usually on a weekday. Sundays shops are usually open

I believe it is prepared Kabayaki style - grilled and basted in sauce. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabayaki?wprov=sfla1

Ah okay! TY for the link

I don’t blame him. So my relatives live in the Philippines. When I last visited them a few years ago, the first thing I did was turn on the TV as I relaxed and got ready for bed. The TV happened to be set to Discovery Asia. That channel was airing a special about airplane disasters in the Pacific. And this was a continuing theme on that network-they aired an awful lot of programming about commercial planes getting lost at sea and crashing into the Atlantic vs crashing into the Pacific. (If I remember right: In the Atlantic, you worry about the cold killing you. In the Pacific, you worry about sharks.) This wasn’t like watching the Discovery Channel in the US, where there’s more variety in the programming. Sure, Discovery Asia also had “Dirty Jobs” and “Mythbusters” back then, but they tended to play those airplane disaster shows much more often than the other programming you’d expect to see on that network. And keep in mind that it’s not like other countries have hundreds of channels to choose from. I don’t know how many cable channels the Philippines would have, but I had a handful of channels to choose from, and this Discovery was one of them. I have no idea why TV networks would want to tell you, in no uncertain terms, that you shouldn’t leave because it’s not safe.

@@ElizaHamilton1780 I live on a island too and I I'm very close to the sea and I can't wait to get closer to it or better still in it I just remember don't turn your back on the sea and know your tide times
