Takosanguchi (city in Japan)

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of going to Takosanguchi. It was so much fun!! I had a really great time. I went to a Trick Art Museum and experienced the art of illusion like never before. I also, got to go to the very top of Mount Tako on one of Japan's steepest cable lifts. Can we say scary! Whew!!


BEER GARDEN

Beer Garden is perched on the very top of Mount Tako overlooking the valley below.

Once we made it to the top, we ate at a nice restaurant called Beer Garden, which overlooked the city. It was really nice, but unfortunately it had rained earlier and it was very misty, so we couldn't see much. Nevertheless, I got to enjoy 2 hours of all you can eat and drink (alcohol of course). We had a really great time. Pics coming soon!

And the Two Traveled Back Home by the Bullet Train All the Way to Tokyo.....THE END!

Well, sadly my trip to Hiroshima has come to an end. I had a great time! That is aside from "Alex" having something like “Swine Flu” and being bed ridden, blowing his nose, coughing, and contaminating everything in sight most of the trip!

Let’s see, I got to see the majority of what I wanted to see (Atomic-Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Shopping Center, and Peace Memorial Park) and enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. You know, there is nothing like seeing and experiencing history you have read about, it’s one of the best feelings ever.

Overall, Hiroshima was a quiet place and as expected the people were very friendly, well that is with the exception of one lady (at the museum) that nearly got cussed out, but that’s another story. Anyway, with my growling stomach, feet cold from the air on this train, hair looking a hot mess, and Alex blowing his nose, I think it’s time for me to end this post. More about my trip coming soon!!!
