YAMATO MUSEUM and MITARAI



Hello! Thank you for reading my blog. I’m from Hiroshima. When you hear the word ‘Hiroshima’ I think you may remember that Hiroshima is the first dropped atomic bomb city. If you visit to the prefecture certainly I feel you should visit the Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome to impress on yourself misery of war. But today I want to suggest to you unknown places to have to visit.

I want to suggest to you my hometown, Kure City(呉市) (in Hiroshima). I was born and raised in the city. There are a lot of have to visit places. I want to introduce two places. First is YAMATO museum. The museum is exhibited some Japanese battleships. I have been to there three times. If you interested in the place, please check this site!(→http://www.yamato-museum.com/en/)

The another place is MITARAI(御手洗). Normally ‘御手洗’ pronounce ‘おてあらい’ and it means lavatory in Japanese. But in this case we have to pronounce ‘みたらい’ and it means a name of place. Without regard to written in the same Kanji(Chinese character). I went to there in this summer vacation with my family. There is a row of houses along the street which were preserved form Edo period. If you go there you can see the old Japanese buildings. I felt there is beautiful and I want to go there again. I like my hometown.

  1. Hello Haku :)
    It is interesting to read that you grew up in Hiroshima, as that is in Kyushu. When I was an exchange student in Japan, I lived just outside of Kagoshima. What a small world!

    The Mitarai sounds like an interesting famous location to visit. The old architecture would be fun to look at, as it would add such a rich history to the feel of the location.

    Thanks for sharing!
