Taxi in Hiroshima and Yamaguchi

Taxi in Hiroshima Apr 24 2018
It was our first day in Hiroshima. After much mental stress on how to get our StarHub Happy card working at the airport due to weak wifi signal at the airport,  taking the wrong bus to Hiroshima town,we decided to take a taxi to Daiwa Roynet Hotel.
Taxi stand is just located next to the Limousine bus station. There is a old usher whom speaks fluent english to assist us. We suspected the taxi driver must have made some lengthy turn as our trip take quite some time to reach our hotel. We ended up paying 1430yen from Hiroshima Station to Hotel.
On the day of check out, Hotel staff help us book a hotel. The taxi driver was so kind to stop its meter when it reach Hiroshima Station, at the junction before turning into the Limousine station. We paid only 1110yen.

Hiroshima Airport and Limousine Bus

This is the view from the plane when arriving Hiroshima. Mountainous and calm.  The airport is small, surrounded by mountains.  The first thing we landed was to activate our StarHub Happy Card Roaming service. For some reason, we failed to get it activated. It was only when we reach hotel that we realised Airport Wifi is not strong enough to activate the card. We also has issue turning on our wifi as well. As a note, the SilkAir check in counter will only opens at 8.25am for us to check in. (Departure time 10.25). So no point going early.  There is a information counter (immediately when you exit the arrival hall), where we can get transport ticket here too. For Limousine bus ticket to hiroshima, there are ticketing machines next door, behind the bus stop. We only realized it after queuing so long for our ticket and miss a bus. We waited for 1 hour for the next bus. (Their bus schedule will be cut once during off peak) We also realise...

I love these old and reliable train. These Yamaguchi local train travel between Shin Yamaguchi station to Yamaguchi station. (They serve routes after Yamaguchi station but I did not find out as I only need to travel to Yamaguchi station LOL) No signal problem. Train operated by train captain.Do check their train hour. At certain hour, there is only 1 train per hour.  While waiting for my train, I roam around Yamaguchi station area. Above is the Yamaguchi train station. Below : a police station beside the train station. There is also a restaurant in Yamaguchi Train Station.

Nakau - Our new found Beef Don in Hiroshima. Located just few steps  away from our Hotel. A good place for late dinner as the shop close late  Our 1st try on 26 Mar 2018, Only 390yen for the beef don, and 220 for the akari and taopok udon. Similar to Matsuya Beef don, taste good at affordable rate. 27 Mar 18, not able to hold our excitement over our new find, we decided to come back again for the beef don and try out the grilled beef. Delicious. We ate these for the next day too The joint served other food like chicken cutlet and sword fish sashimi with rice. But we still feel the beef don is the best. So we have it for the next day again, and decided we should really stop and try other food instead. Yes, next time if I visit Japan, this will be another shop that I will hunt them down for a meal. In addition to Matsuya.
