We returned to Hiroshima in the morning and we spent most of the day visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. After some window shopping, we went to see the Japanese version of the musical Beauty and the Beast, which, except the language, completely replicated the English version.

Our breakfast at the hot spring hotel.
