  • Exploring Hiroshima, Japan in 48 Hours!
    After spending the day in Miyajima, we kick things off with this historic city's iconic dish, the okonomiyaki (お好み焼き), a savory pancake. In Hiroshima, they do this classic Japanese food a little differently. What's the difference between the Kansai and Hiroshima version? We find out at the bustling Okonomimura (好み), a building packed with over 20 different shops specializing in this local dish. Where to Eat? The ever-friendly Okonomiyaki Ron (お好み焼き お好み村 ロン) for the best fresh-off-the-teppanyaki (鉄板焼き) okonomiyaki we’ve ever had. Truly special!
    After thrifting in Fukuoka and eating our way through Miyajima 宮島, we finally explore downtown Hiroshima 広島市. From the city's finest historical cafes to its hip vintage shops and modern cafes. We even found our new favorite japanese curry restaurant!
    Of course, we also pay our respects at the historic Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park. A reflective stroll in the rain made us realize how lucky to get to travel to this beautiful city.
    We’re happy to bring you along our trip, one plate of Japanese street food at a time. Okonomiyaki! Oysters! Lemons! Curry pan!

    Wowww! You guys went to Ron for Okonomiyaki! That lady is a Hiroshima's star! I'm actually from Hiroshima, Japan. I can tell you both enjoyed staying Hiroshima and made me happy! Your video is the best I've seen "visiting Hiroshima" video.

    I love your videos so much and i look forward to each one. Theyre just so chilled out and .....relaxed. So many youtubers are loud and bombastic and dont achieve anywhere near what you do. Yours have a wonderful ambience and its exactly how I imagine i want to experience japan. The music is always perfect and interspersing the videos with the beautiful quality photo portraits is top notch. Your videos are like comfort food.

    Guys thank you so much for such a beautiful work! Im going to Japan in two weeks (omg!😱). I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed and with fomo thanks to the sensationalistic nature of other vlogs; you guys put that at ease, you remind me that traveling is a unique experience for each of us and thats ok, so thanks for that 😌

    This made me miss the okonomiyaki at okonomimura…i went to a different stall in there, but whichever one you choose, its bound to be delicious! I wish i spent more time in Hiroshima…its definitely an overlooked city…but that also makes it wonderful as well as it doesnt feel ridiculously crowded.

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před 2 měsíci +3

      We felt the same way! Okonomimura was such a fun dining experience, and it was great to just observe all the different stalls. We would love to visit Hiroshima again the future. Definitely a Japanese city worth a second visit 🤍

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I've seen day tours for that route from Osaka, so it is possible. Depends how much time you want to spend exploring Miyajima and Hiroshima! You might be a bit rushed considering travel time to and from the island.
