One last visit...



The view from the top (up) and you can see the mountain in the distance (left)



We wanted to visit the ocean one last time before we leave Japan, so we went there the other day and explored a bit. There is a shrine at the top of an island mountain that we walked up to (253 very steep steps; the picture just doesn't do it justice). It's funny how these shrines are just everywhere. It was a really good view and we were the only people up there (turns out everyone else just wanted to play, not hike the beastly stairs) so it was a really neat experience.

Hi! I happened upon your blog and noticed that I have some things in common with you. We are going to Japan in a week, but only for a vacation, and I have a daughter named Kaiya too--Which is a unique name. How interesting! She's an eighth japanese which is part of the reason we named her that.
you can check her out on my blog if you want:

How did you decide to name your Kaiya, Kaiya?
