Watanabe Diary

There are a couple of beautiful beaches in Miyajima. It's so peaceful just looking at the water.

I and my children visited Nakaoka Farm this afternoon and enjoyed looking at all organic vegetables. Just picked green peas were so sweet!

Many origami cranes have been sent from all over the world to the Hiroshima Peace memorial Park.  The origami cranes are buried at the Daisho-in temple and the INORI monument is settled at the temple today.

The Awashima shrine is located near our inn. Today, we had a small festival at the shrine.

It is said that visiting a shrine and a temple on the first day of the month, you can get many good things! It's been a very important day for our family since my great great grand ma started this business 90 years ago. She started to serve barasushi (chirashi sushi) to the prayers and we still keep the tradition. Please enjoy the first day's special chirashi sushi and our regular special Anago sushi roll with udon or soba noodle!
