An afternoon in Iwakuni

Today we met my friend Erika who drove us with her Nissan EV to Iwakuni, a small, but magical town not far from Hiroshima surrounded by green forested mountains. We took the ropeway up the hill which ends a short walk away from the Iwakuni Castle. There are white castles, like Himeji, black castles like the one in Okayama. This one is kinda undecisive, half black half white:

Erika and us:

The town itself has a very relaxed atmosphere. It is scattered by canals and cut by a river which had a low water level today.

But the highlight of the town is the Kintaikyo Bridge:
