Here are a few snapshots from my visit to the nearby town of Onomichi (尾道). It’s a seaside city about 20 minutes away from my town. I went with my friend Yumiko. She’s been a great help to me in my time here.

Riding to the top of the mountain.

The Onomichi area is very famous for their organges and lemons. I had really wanted green tea ice cream, but this orange flavor turned out to be delicious.
