Favorite thing: The shrines and temples area really beautiful and abundant. The nature is superb an all seasons. The autumn is special with golden maple tree leaves all around the island. The sea is calm and beautiful.
Fondest memory: The harmony of the blue sea, shrines and temples as well as beautiful nature and living quarters.

Favorite thing: There are lots of deer roaming about and they are not afraid of strangers. Likely, they`ll hope that you have something for them. They will run, however, if startled.
