I gave Chie the camera to take a picture of me in front of what I assumed to be Onomichi's famous post office (not really famous, it just happened to feature on the BBC news website the other day). She seemed to take a lot of random pointless pictures too though...
|
14:41:27
...so here's me and the Post Office...
|
14:41:36
...but here's more random pictures of seemingly nothing in particular...
|
|
|
|
|
|
14:41:40
...and more!
|
15:17:31
Anyway, after wrestling the camera back off Chie and moving away from the station, we proceeded to take a wander around Onomichi. Onomichi is famous for it's temples, and also its alleyways - here an example.

A rather precariously perches Japanese castle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15:34:16
A view out over the bay (?) of Onomichi from part way up the hill.
|
15:34:26
Another view in the other direction.
|
15:59:34
Some little statues and bowls of water.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16:00:34
A little temple/shrine place up on the hill.
|
16:04:17
Some sort of engraving and a nice tree root.
|
16:05:03
Another view out over the bay.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16:05:22
As always I can't resist taking pictures with these flags in!
|
16:05:49
More views...
|
16:09:39
Nice birdge over there!
|
|
|
|
|
|
16:13:01
A bit of one of the temples, up on the hill.
|
16:13:13
A cable car!
|
16:13:33
Supposed to be me with the cable car behind, obviously the timing was wrong!
|
|
|
|
|
|
16:13:57
The cable car again.
|
16:16:02
A famous circle on a rock ?!!?
|
16:18:02
Some stones and that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16:28:12
When in doubt, Japanese town planners build a pagoda. Can't go wrong with a pagoda.
|
16:31:20
A dog outside a sweets shop, where Chie went to buy mochi.
|
16:31:43
Chie buying mochi.
|
|

|
16:33:29
That dog again.
|
16:58:45
As a later afternoon snack we went to Chie's favourite place in Onomichi - "Common" - a waffle cafe.
|
16:59:07
Oh and I had a homemade lime drink which was very nice too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17:01:46
Waffles were very good here!
|
17:14:18
I wanted to get a picture of some of the cafe in.
|
17:46:10
Another alleyway...
|
|
|
|
|
18:37:36
These cranes are pleasantly lit up at night - all different colours.
|
22:15:34
Back at Chie's family's house now - me on the computer!
