Part II: Views of Onomichi
(If you like these, wait till you see ALL my pictures!)

|
| A
beautiful view of Onomichi City. |
Onomichi
has an inland sea, a river, and about 100,000 people. |
It
is a short (3 minute) ride on the tram, but a spectacular view! Here
I am with Mr. Tomomune and Yoshie. |
|
|
|
| These
two lovely bridges connect Onomichi to Mukaishima Island. One is
called Onomichi Ohashi (big bridge) and the other is Shin Onomichi Ohashi
(new Onomichi bridge). |
There
are many islands around Onomichi, some big and some small. |
This
covered area is a shopping arcade. It is decorated by school children
for the Star Festival on July 7. Children makes wishes to hang onto
branches, then the branch and wishes are burned. The wises may then
come true! |

|
| This
serene view is from a room where we had a tea ceremony, with a Buddhist
monk. |
The
tea is bitter to remind you of the bitter parts of life, but sweet is also
served to remember the good parts too! |
Some
of the most beautiful things in Onomichi are food inside, like these treasures
at Jodoji Temple. What an amazing place! |
