菜の花畑

We went for a morning walk around the hotel after breakfast. Just about 15min later, we saw many plots of yellow fields. Initially we thought that there were people working in the fields. Later we realised these were just figurines (scarecrows?).

The yellow coloured plants were Nanohana (菜の花).  It is a Japanese vegetable also known as nabana (菜花), or rapeseed. One could pick and take home a bag of the nanohana, and deposit 100 JPY into the coin box.

Hotel Seashore Resort ホテル シーショア・リゾート

We were heading west towards Hiroshima this trip. After some searching, we chose to stay at Hotel Seashore Resort (ホテル シーショア・リゾート) for a night. We took the train from Sanyo Himeji to Sanyo Aboshi, and the journey took about 20min. We had made arrangement with the hotel to pick up us. The journey to the hotel took another 10min. This was half the distance compared to the JR Aboshi station.

We chose a room with the bath just next to the window. The view was really splendid. Especially during sunrise. We were not able to see much stars from the room but managed to just outside the hotel.

There was nothing else around the hotel. Luckily we got ourselves drinks and tidbits. There was the typical gift shop still.
