For a change from our daily city life in Sendai, we ventured out a bit further this time, to the small island of Miyagi prefecture called Kinkasan which literally means "Mountain of Gold".
The name probably is derived from its 1,250 years old Koganeyama Shrine which sits on top of the island hills and is said to bring financial prosperity if visited three times in consecutive years.
We stayed in a very friendly family-run guesthouse called Shiokaze minshuku. This small budget inn is situated right on the cliff, facing the coast, and it being the low season, we were the only guests and were lucky to have a room with a great view of the sea. For dinner, we were served some very fresh seafood, including a live sea urchin that kept crawling in our dinner set!

Hey Joanna, just wanted to tell you that I enjoy following your adventures around the world! As always, you have a good photographic eye. Marco M.
Thanks Marco! Glad to know that I have some audience:)
Personally, I find it difficult to choose the pictures for the blog, that are both descriptive and artistic at the same time. I don't think some of the pictures are so nice to be posted, but then they add to telling the story, so I do.
As for the photographic eye part, I need waaaay more practice! So when are we doing the next round of photowhisper????
