Stand and Deliver

This public toilet at Tsu beach is in the shape of a ship. See the smokestack on the top? The men's is on the right hand side. The gents can look out the port hole while doing their stand up routine. They can smile at the passers by, who in turn can wonder why they are smiling...

Worship those Frogs

The Okitama shrine has a bit of a frog theme. Maybe it's to improve the sales of frog statues in the regulation shrine souvenir stall.

Wedded Rocks

We went down to Ise-shima. On the coast at a place called Futami there is a shrine called Okitama-jinja. Just off the coast are two rocks, joined by sacred ropes (shimenawa). The rope ties the male and female rocks together, and is renewed every January 5 in a big festival.
