Here are some pics so far of the visit, the one`s on the coast are near a shrine about 30 minutes to the coast from Anjo. Can`t remember the name. The other is Nagoya city from the Mall next to the Shinkansen station.

The shrine goes right out on to an island, you can walk there by bridge. Lot`s of people come here at this time of year for wishing good luck. Some students come everyday praying for good exam results etc.

You can shake a can for about 50P which gives out a random prediction of love, luck and life. Mine was rather unlucky according to a translation. Nether the less I tied this piece of paper with my unfortunate fortune to a tree near by with hundreads of others. It`s very peacefull around the shrine, you can make also a wish at the main shrine building.

It takes about 20 mins to walk from the coast across to the island but it`s well worth it.

These photo`s were taken with a Digital mini Olympus. The camera`s out here a very cheap 30% less than the UK and about 2 years ahead in models and technology.

I`ve also brought my Lomo L-CA so I`ll post some pics when I get back to the UK.
