This is about 2 hours from Tokyo, via Shinkansen (the bullet train) I was experimenting with my new digital camera, so I apologize for the artsy-fartsy-ness of this page.
![]() bayweeds.jpg 40.61 Kb What can I say, Matsushima is beautiful. I was only there a day, and didn't learn too much, but the scenery was fantastic. |
![]() calmisland.jpg 31.48 Kb We crossed a long red bridge that led to a small island. Then crossed the island, to where the cliffs dropped off. This was the view. |
![]() calmsea.jpg 32.96 Kb This was the view from the restaurant we ate lunch at. Almost as good as the view in the previous picture. Hmmm. |
![]() figurehead.jpg 56.23 Kb Josh, the quintessential tourist. This is the figurehead on the "sight seeing" boat we took part of the way home (we were staying in a Ryokin in Sendai) |
![]() islandshrine.jpg 49.00 Kb This shrine was built, from what I gather, just because the view was so beautiful from this spot. |
![]() statue1.jpg 24.48 Kb There were a number of these little statues in one of the shrines in the town. I just wanted to try out my new camera. |
Haven't seen enough? Check the next page for more pictures....
