Food notes: Hiroshima is famous for oysters
* Suishin - famous for kamameshi (rice casseroles) served with mushrooms, oysters, shrimps, sea bream, sea eels and chestnuts.
* Okonomimura (okonomiyaki village) - not sure it's worth the trip there...

We could do the Miyajima trip but the famous "floating" torii gates are likely going to be at low tide, stuck in mud, unless we're there at dawn or night.
Himeji is in between Hiroshima and Kyoto.Kyoto <-- 55 mins --> Himeji <-- 1hr --> Hiroshima
The castle (UNESCO World Heritage site), is one of the most beautiful in Japan. It takes 1-3hrs to explore. Open 9am-4pm daily. ¥600 Adults and ¥200 Children. The castle is an easy 10-minute walk north from the station.
