Google Map Adventure #1

My new favorite app might be Google Maps. I keep seeing little tori gates shown on the map and convinced some friends to venture with me to find one today in the middle of a forest. We got a little sidetracked on the way by a Buddhist temple and then found the one from Google Maps and ventured up a narrow dirt road that was covered in branches. After that, we went to the nearest beach, a couple scenic overlooks to see all the islands on Kujukushima.

I have been wanting to see a boar for weeks, and I finally saw one...too bad it was dead on the side of the road.
