It's always fun to discover something beautiful tucked away in a little corner of nature. In this case, I was excited to find this shrine after walking up along the shore of gorgeous Shirahama Beach. Most people never even noticed it was there - they were too busy enjoying the sand and surf!

Took the train from Osaka to Wakayama. Total waste of a day. Find something better to do then throw away a day there.
No way. I loved it.
