Japan Adventure

Julie at the end of the pier on the Seto Inland Sea near Hikari.


Old boats near the pier.


Lots of ropes with prayer chains around buildings this time of year - always around the same time as our Halloween.


Looking straight through the pagoda from the street side. Looks different without all the booths today. While we were walking around, a nice Japanese man came and handed us a printed brochure and with our very limited Japanese, and his limited English, we found out there would be a parade later this afternoon - yay! We may come back for that . . .


So we decided to take Julie to the nearby beach where we always find seaglass and sea china. She loved it, but we couldn't stay too long in the noonday sun . . .


So then we decided to drive on to beautiful KANMURIYAMA PARK on Hwy 188. There's always something blooming all year around and we haven't been here for a while.


This map shows the design of the park. The further you walk, the more beautiful it becomes!


Of course, my first stop is always the toire' (potty) . . . These buildings look Spanish-style to me.


There I am in a mirror inside the women's bathroom.


I LOVE the tile in here - what a great idea!
