We left the Hiroshima Airport Hotel and took a very quick Shinkansen ride to Fukuyama City - which has roughly the same popultion as all of Tasmania.
Once there, we went straight to the Matsunaga Rotary Club lunchtime meeting. Prior to the meeting commencing, we were treated to a lesson in ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) by a professional teacher and then made our own arrangements.
Following the meeting, we went to a Footwear and Japan Folk Toy and Doll Museum. We then transferred by bus to the ancient seaside town of Tomonoura and walked for around 2 hours, taking in the sights. We have included photo from top shrine in Tomo - overlooking most of the town and port.
We then went straight to a massive Japanese banquet dinner with Rotarians and presented again. A merry bus ride back to our hotel later that evening - we were 'sake-fied' (according to Steven). As if that wasn't enough, before bed we spent about 2 hours at a karaoke bar - lots of fun!
