9th Week - Sunday (090308) 竹原 ひなまつり

The past Monday was Doll's day, a traditional festival for girls. Hence we decided to go to this small town to check out on the dolls that are on display. 竹原 is a very small town about one and a half hours drive from Hiroshima City and it is famous for its traditional preserved building and feeling. Don't need to say more, the pics will do the talking...

Countryside outside Hiroshima City. Looks like Malaysia right? Haha...
