The following photo was taken at the top of a fabulous look out at the top of a mountain. The 365 degree views were breath taking! It gave me a chance to appreciate that Japan is actually made up of thousands of small islands!

Making the most of the nice weather
Time is running out fast! My calendar is pretty much full between now and leaving, so with a final free weekend and fair weather, Lauren and I went out for a drive. There is an area close by that we always forget about as it juts into the sea and we travel through and bypass it. The area is called Kaminoseki. I finally decided it was time to take a drive out there. Lauren was my cheerful (though slightly car sick) companion. Think windy roads, blue skies, ocean, mountains, rice fields and you can almost imagine being there. I had a lovely time but I came away thinking that an area so close to where I live, actually feels like the most remote area of Japan (way more remote than Oshima!).
