This trip is nearly identical to my trip-- with the exception that mine was over a month, and I was a high school senior.

Keep sharing your photos! They bring back alot of memories.

Okonomiyaki, Hiroshima (Me on far right)

(Thats me in the blue, on the left... Nara)

Me on the far right, again.

That's me in the center, sitting down in the blue.

As I've said before, going with a huge group can take ALOT away from the trip--
but for the most part I went with a pretty friendly group of characters.

Anyone else have any group Japan adventures?

Nice photos!

By the way isn't okonomiyaki delicious! -
What other places did you visit?
We went to Hiroshima just for a few hours to visit the Peace Memorial and museum.

We went to, in no particular order, Tokyo, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Kobe, and some places inbetween. We finished the trip off with a homestay in Takefu (Fukui prefecture)

I have a photo identical to the Edo-Museum one! Same spot, but different and obviously more obese people. Ill look around for it.

Unfortunately Okonomiyaki was not delicious- I ended up vomiting (in private).

The mixture of the noodles, mayo, and cabbage was not what I had in mind. But I would try it again if given the chance.

Poat 1: Oh okay, very cool!
Wow really. I though it was an interesting place to visit. Also our guid was very nice.

Post 2: I'm sorry to hear that by the way.
I couldn't get enough of it back in Yokohama, we had okonomiyaki in more of an Osaka style (without noodles).
Tako-yaki was also so good!

Thanks! I took a boat ride around Tojinbo cliffs- it was spectacular... And it was a nice hot day.

Those photos are great- looks like you guys had a blast!
I didn't see much of Hiroshima when i was there but i did go to miyajima. I'd put up a picture, but the file size is enormous. :/
