A mix up in today’s reservation leaves me on an island with a mainland reservation. Flush that money down the toilet. I immediately got an island resort reservation for a scrumptious room with a view of Seto Island Sea, an Onsen overlooking the sea, and a message chair in my room.  I’m worth every yen.

When the moon is at a particular phase during low tide, you can walk to the Torii gate.
Cherry Blossoms.
Massage chair. I had no idea my shoulders were so tight.

  1. Dear Linda,
    The islands are so pretty and I have never seen a shrine partly in the ocean like that. Such a nice combination of pictures of people and of sights!
    Sincerely,
    Bill
