Aided by this helpful photo of the bullet train, I'm much clearer on our schedule the next day. Took the amazing train to Hiroshima, a couple hours' south of Kyoto. Hiroshima is one of the few cities in the world whose name will always be connected with tragedy. It's not an obvious choice to include on a holiday, but it's a fascinating place and I really recommend it. It doesn't really lend itself to a breezy vacation blog, though, so I'll move through it quickly. At right is the A Bomb dome. It's the only building left standing after the atom bomb leveled the city, and is left in its ruined state as a memorial.
