Summary of March itinerary in Japan (Hiroshima, Okayama)

Summary of March itinerary in Japan (Hiroshima, Okayama)   I traveled to Hiroshima and Okayama prefectures from March 22nd (Tuesday) to March 25th (Friday). I was able to eat a lot of seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes, and visited wonderful tourist destinations such as World Heritage Sites, National Treasures, National Important Cultural Properties, and National Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings on this trip. It was the most visited tourist destination in the four-day domestic trip so far. I was able to enjoy fresh seafood such as seasonal oysters and agricultural products unique to the production areas such as Kuwai (sagittaria rhizome, Fukuyama City) and Yellow Chinese chives (Kurashiki City), which are overwhelmingly produced in Japan on this trip. In addition, I was able to eat Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and Onomichi ramen, which are typical local gourmet foods. This is the March Japan itinerary that I highly recommend to everyone.

Saishoin Five-storied Pagoda The third day of my trip to Aomori and Akita was heavy snow from the morning. Even so, I decided to visit as many sightseeing spots as possible, so I went to the “Saishoin Five-storied Pagoda” near my hotel. The “Saishōin Five-storied Pagoda” was completed in 1667. It is said that it was built as a memorial service for enemies and allies who died in the process of unifying Tsugaru by clan ancestor, Tamenobu Tsugaru in Hirosaki Domain (Tsugaru Domain) . As a five-storied pagoda, it is a national important cultural property of the northernmost in Japan. It is said to be the most beautiful tower in the Tohoku region. It was very beautiful with snow. The precincts were also quiet and had a solemn atmosphere in the snow.   2.
