    On January 31st, I took the Sanyo Line from JR Hiroshima Station and arrived at JR Iwakuni Station after about an hour. It took 20-30 minutes by bus, 300 yen one way, and about 300 yen to cross the Kintai Bridge, but it was worth it. It was very beautiful and left a lasting memory. Near the bus stop, I had a break at a long-established Kintai Bridge rice cracker shop. It was like a tile rice cracker, but it was simple and delicious. On the way back, I had a ramen noodle (large portion) for 900 yen at Suehiro Shokudo in front of Iwakuni Station, and it was delicious. It was a great treat for my cold body. I would like to visit this place again.

    Motonosumi Shrine in Yamaguchi. It started to rain when we arrived, and my friend said a little disappointedly, it's raining. We comforted him: "It's okay! The shrine looks more solemn, magnificent and beautiful on a rainy day!" So everyone happily went to the pavilion to hide from the rain, imagining the scenery on a sunny day. It is said that when the weather is good, the waves hit the shore and a rainbow will roll up on the shore, which is very beautiful. When I got home, I returned the big camera to my friend, thinking a little disappointedly that the big camera really needs a real photographer to use it. In my hands, it just took a bunch of higher-definition garbage. "It didn't even focus..." My friend touched the lens: "The screw is loose! Tighten it and it will focus! And, the blurry one is so atmospheric! It's beautiful! Look at this one!"
