My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

Facing the famous Otorii Gate and "floating" Itsukushima Shrine behind it. READ MORE HERE


Our ship stopped here for about 15 minutes "deck time" so we could view the torii and take photos. So, up we went to the upper deck. The sea was very calm, so it was not difficult to climb these stairs & walk around the deck.


This is the port side (left) looking toward the front.


Giant steering wheel (not sure that's what it's called on a ship???) mounted at the top of the stairs - just for decoration.
