Day 3 Hiroshima to Onomichi

Today, we left Hiroshima after collecting our rental car. First stop is Okunoshima Island which was once the base for poison gas production but today is home to more than 700 wild rabbits which visitors can feed and pet at will. I could really spend hours here just being surrounded by these fluffy docile creatures.

After the island we ended our day in Onomichi town and faced some difficulties locating our apartment. Thankfully I was able to seek the assistance from the locals using my very limited Japanese. Sumimasen doko desuka? Later we discovered we had entered town during their summer festivities so with much excitement we joined in the summer fair ala pasar malam. I have always wanted to take part in such a fair having read about it so often on manga, anime and games.
