This day we went to Miyajima and I more or less got the photo that I
should have gotten in Nara, as there were deer in the town here as well
(although not nearly as many as in Nara). Unfortunately the deer is not as
close to the machine as I'd like, but on the flipside I technically also
included Itsukushima shrine as well, through a poster. Interestingly, as
far as I could tell a lot of vending machines on Miyajima attempted to
blend in with their surroundings a little bit, with this one having a
wooden pattern as well. The bakery behind the machine is one I'd like to
go back and try in the future, because looking at google maps it turns out
to specialise in koppepan. Koppepan is very similar to a hot-dog bun and
the shop offers various fillings with it, among my favourite and absolute
classic, yakisoba-pan. This is essentially a bun filled with yakisoba
(stirfried noodles). I wasn't aware that these were sold fresh, and only
got them in convenience stores and supermarkets during our stay :(
宮島では奈良で撮ろうと思った写真が撮れた。奈良ほどじゃないけど、宮島にも多くの鹿がいた。残念ながら鹿は自販機からちょっと遠いけど、一応厳島神社の大鳥居も写っている。ポスターだけなんだけど。この自販機と多くの宮島の自販機は周りに溶け込んでいるらしくて、この自販機は後ろの建物のような木の模様がある。建物をグーグルマップで調べたら、パン屋で、コッペパンを売っていることが分かった。私はその時コッペパンが何か知らなかったけど、焼きそばパンが大好きだ。またスーパーやコンビニでしか買えないと思っていたから、パン屋に入らなかった。だから、いつか宮島に戻りたくて、このパン屋でコッペパンを試したいと思う。きっと新鮮なコッペパンはなおさら美味いだろう。
