Japan Adventure

This was our tour guide for this night ride. He gave a lot of information which unfortunately, we didn't understand a word of, but it was a very nice ride anyway.


There's the floating Torii gate at night. Read more about this sacred shrine HERE!


We rode pretty close, but the tide was out, so although the gate was not floating tonight, it was still very beautiful from this perspective. Here's a photo I found on the hotel website - much better than the ones I shot! In this one, the tide is in so the gate is "floating" and the reflection is better.


Looking into the bridge of our boat. I think the little white hanging thingys in the doorway are prayers, tied by the captain to give us good luck.


Looks like this boat is rated to hold 52 - 50 passengers & 2 crew - I'm guessing small Japanese people since the total weight is 3570 kg. I'm glad we're not that many tonight, because we could walk from side to side to take photos.
