Summary

[edit]
Description My 2nd Shinkansen ride- this time from Osaka to Hiroshima. I decided at the spur of the moment to cut short my sightseeing around Osaka city by skipping Spa World- a Japanese Onsen (bath house) as it was too cold, and the Ramen Museum to visit Hiroshima instead. Hiroshima was the site of the senseless American atom bomb which annihilated most of Hiroshima city (along with another one in Nagasaki but that's another story), so being so close to it, I simply could not move on without paying my respects to the innocent casualties. To get there, I had to take a bullet train on the Sanyo Shinkansen Line from Shin-Osaka Station to Hiroshima Station. The fare is 9,710 yen and the journey time can vary according to the model of the train. The faster models like the Mizuho and the Nozomi- which I took- take just 1 hour and 25 minutes. I had to buy a separate ticket as the rapid Nozomi service is not covered by the Japan Rail Pass. If you have a Japan Rail Pass, you should take slower models like the Sakura which takes 1 hour and 32 minutes, or the Hikari which takes 2 hours and 13 minutes. The Shinkansen train seen here is of the N700 class, notes about which appeared in my Kyoto album. (Hiroshima,Japan, Apr/ May 2019)
