Saikai Pearl Sea Resort

This is the first spot Kari and I went to on our mini-vacation. We started at the Kujukushima Bay Aquarium. It was a small attraction but was nice enough that it wasn't too tiring to see all the sites. We both enjoyed the dolphin show and jellyfish symphony dome.

 

 

 

 The next trip we took was a sightseeing ship that takes you around "99 islands." Japan calls it "99 islands" because there so many islands uninhabited.

 

Downtown Shrine

Here is a local shrine downtown. It's within 5 minutes walking distance. It is a beautiful walk and many Japanese come here to pray and to give thanks. I came here during the perfect time since the cherry blossoms started to bloom. Once you reach the top of the shrine (second picture from the bottom) you ring the bell from the rope on either side and donate money into a bin and clap 3 times and say your wish or prayer.
