Japan #4

I arrived in japan 3 days ago here is a recap of what i have done

First i went to Hiroshima For 1 day, While I was there I went to a Hiroshima Palace. It was a HUGE palace in the middle of a lake with 6 stories and i learnt a lot about warriors and how people used to live. Did you know that people were a lot smaller 100 years ago, so the doorways in the palace were like 4 feet tall.

Next I went to The Hiroshima peace museum and learnt all about what happened during the bomb. It was very interesting, We saw what happened with radiation, some people had spots sprout up all over their body and die. Also arms became like mutated it was horrible. I also saw some clothes from children who died in the bombing. It was a great experience.

After, for lunch me and my mom went to a sushi place. This sushi place was sooo cool because it was sushi on a conveyor, so if you wanted a specific sushi you could grab it of the conveyor belt as it went around in a circle. it was so cool.

At the end of the day we went around Hiroshima and saw some buildings that survived after the bombing, they were all black and burnt. I thought that it was amazing that any building actually survived. Next to one of the buildings that survived the bombing, there was a big bright fire that was lit after the peace museum was made. It is an everlasting fire that will stay lit during rain and snow it was very neat.

 The next day we left Hiroshima for Tokyo but first I went to Kyoto (Kyoto used to be the capital, but now tokyo is), so since Kyoto used to be the capital many temples were there. There are over 1000 temples in Kyoto. there were many superstious things there like if you drank out of the fountain of god you will be lucky for the rest of your life etc. The temples were very old, but i thought it was cool inside. I only got to go to 1 temple out of the 1000 in Kyoto.

The next day i went on a day tour to mt. Fugi (Foo-gEE). Mt. Fugi is the tallest mountain in Japan. We had to drive to the halfway point but while we were on the halfway point we couldn't see anything because we were in the middle of a huge cloud. After we came down mt. Fugi our group took a cable car up a seperate mountain that had an amazing view of mt. Fugi. Also on top of that mountain. was a lot of sulfer and hot springs. The sulfer made random masses of smoke everywhere. on top of that mountain they sold eggs, except the eggs weren't normal eggs they were black because of all the sulfer. Finally we got down of the sulfer mountain and took a ship around the bay of tokyo. 

The next day i went to disney sea, disney sea is a one of a kind amusement park like disneyland except everything was themed under water. There was one ride that i went on called 20,000 leagues under the sea (like the book). You got into an enclosed bubble and you started moving suddenley a red alert would start flashing and it would look like your sinking but the glass in the bubble was very thick, it was filled with water so that when you started sinking bubbles would pop up in the glass. So you would think that you were under water, after you sunk you had to find your way through the water and random sea creatures kept popping out and jumping onto your window. It was soo amazing. After we went on many water rides it was so fun.

Now I am about to leave Japan for Canada and i am sad that i have to leave stay tuned for blog number 3 on my trip to learn about the differences between Asia and Canada, also some cool facts about Japan and China are there to, see you on Monday!!
