Experience of the stay
I used the guests-only lounge.
It varies by the time of day, but at around snack time in the evening, I enjoyed Hiroshima's famous sweets, "Bachenn Mozart's barley cookies," "Lemon ten," and "limited edition shrimp chips."
They were all delicious, and I ended up going back for more. In the evening, there was a late-night dessert time where I had the yogurt and pudding from "Chichiyasu," which originated in Hiroshima. I was torn between the two, but I ended up eating both. Eating them while looking at the night view from my window-side seat was the best.
Additionally, after arriving in the evening, I was able to walk around the Peace Memorial Park and Atomic Bomb Dome, which was perfect as a sightseeing base. There was a famous okonomiyaki restaurant called "Mitchan" near the hotel, which I used for dinner. Although there are several locations, I was lucky that the closest one had long hours. For the next day's breakfast, I learned I could eat there as long as I paid locally, so I decided to have breakfast there.
The soft French toast and beef stew with chunks of meat were amazing! I ended up eating a lot of bread, but I couldn't resist trying the local specialty, anago rice. It was incredibly delicious. The breakfast at the hotel is generally similar to others, but they had local specialties from Hiroshima, which showed they put a lot of thought into their breakfast! I ended up eating too much but still wanted to try more breakfast. I would definitely like to use it again if given the opportunity.
Experiences during the trip
On this trip, I brought a 'disposable camera'! I was looking forward to seeing what kind of pictures would come out after developing them, and since the weather was nice, I was able to take really beautiful scenery! I regretted not taking more pictures and ended up with extra shots. I learned that for evening and nighttime photos, it's better to use the flash early since they came out a bit dark. I also tried taking selfies, all of which turned out to be very close-up and funny. I'm starting to get hooked on the joys of post-trip photography with a film camera. Both the good and not-so-good photos turned into wonderful memories.
