Itsukushima Gate Up Close: Miyajima, Japan

 This bridge was very high! It was blocked off so you can't try to walk over it, but even if it was open you would need to hang on to the rails to climb up it.

 Too cute! A little boy taking a photo of his parents with their camera.　He was asking his parents to move to get a good picture.

かわいい！この男の子は両親のカメラをつかって写真をとってます。

Walking on the sand you can see lots of tiny crab walking around and going into holes they dug. There were also a lot of tiny shells with snails(?) inside.
