To get out to Aoshima ["blue island"] Shrine, you walk through this area of quaint, yet kitschy shops, that sell amongst other things and much to Sandy's delight, mango ice cream.
That's it, walk the path, grasshopper.
Via:
"Aoshima Shinto Shrine is dedicated to Hikohohodemi no Mikoto (or * Yamasachi Hiko), to Toyotamahime no Mikoto, and to Shiotsutsu no Ookami. * (Yamasachi means mountain products" Hiko means "man") The origin of Aoshima Shrine is unknown but there is a record that peple revered the shrine as early as the Heian Era in the ninth-century A.D.
Aoshima shrine is supposed to give a divine blessing,especially to those who want to be married."
Alternatively called the devil's, demon's or giant's washboard, this odd configuration of rock is pretty cool. Despite having read [the translation] of how they came about, I still don't quite get how they formed. Rock, erosions, sunspots, something... It's all ball bearings.
Chillin'.
*WARNING*
NOT A NINJA.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
