Day 6: Fukuyama

Fukuyama (福山市) is a city located on the Ashida River in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.

On the way back to Fukuyama I saw some evidence of Japan’s recession – closed shops on a Monday. Near the station. There is a rose trellis in honour of Hugh Jackman – I took a picture there.

At the station, we bought some inari and some momiji cakes (which are famous in this region) for lunch. The momiji was delicious – maple syrup flavoured – and go down well with coffee or tea.
