So windy this morning 🌬️ worried about the jetfoil from #ikijima . But even though the seas were rough, there was only 1 real big bump on our way to Hakata. I feel fine! 😊👍Plus we had a bunch of people see us off at the dock 🥰🥰🥰
Now heading back to Kyoto. See you next year!

Last morning on #ikijima. We went to the island elementary school futsal tournament to cheer on our little buddies! This is the same field where sheep 🐑 🐑 graze on the sidelines.

These are the Harahoge, a series of jizō statues that protect this bay. When the tide is up, it comes up to their bellies.

To the left of the shrine out in the water is Sakyōbana, one of the Heavenly Pillars of Iki. This is where they fly the demon kites

We were super lucky to time our trip with the big neighbourhood Trick Or Treat event! 🎃 All the local kids got dressed up 👻 and we went door-to-door where they yelled “TRICK OR TREAT!!!” and then went for the 🍬 like piranhas. 😂 It was high tension and hilarious!

And another surprise since we left Iki: someone started a banana farm! 🍌 They sell organic bananas so fresh “you can eat the skin”. Also lots of nana leaf products like serving platters, wallets, and purses. The greenhouse got damaged in the recent typhoon.

Another surprise for us on Iki! A new bakery named チャド！The owners were just as surprised as me, so we took a photo together. The store is named after the country (an interesting story). Their bread and cookies are 😋 Next time I will get the Baumkuchen (my fav)

Coming back to #ikijima after leaving so suddenly is pretty amazing. Everyone is so warm and welcoming! Visited a bunch of people today with souvenirs. Also caught up with my “office” view (when I would work out of my car at the ocean viewpoint) and spectacular sunsets! 🌅

Took a walk along the beach. The sound of waves 🌊 lapping against the shore is so healing. And I love the green-ness of the water at this time of year. Fascinated by all the tiny shells 🐚 that the waves collect on the beach. Took a moment to notice the little things. #ikijima

This is Ohama, a nice family friendly beach on #ikijima. I am standing on a little peninsula. The ocean water in the fishing port on the left has a totally different colour than the white sand beach on the right.

Today was excellent.😊 Working with the principal we snuck into the school we attended in 20-21 via the back entrance, then surprised everyone at assembly! Then we walked home together and the kids all played until sundown. Now I think everyone on the island knows we are here‼️

Good morning! We have just left Tsushima and are headed to Iki where we will be spending a few days reconnecting with old friends. Follow along as I will be sharing some Japanese remote island and October beach photos (hopefully the weather clears up!)

Well, I am fed & bathed and in my PJs. Today was a long day of travel, from bumpy seas 🌊 and only getting 3hrs sleep on the ferry ⛴️ to driving Tsushima from top to bottom. I hope you enjoyed my live-tweeting from the edge of Japan! Tomorrow we are off to #ikijima 🚢

Correction, this gate is from the Kaneishi Castle which was a lower castle. Shimizu was a mountaintop castle that you can see the ruins from here. They are not the same castle. I regret the error!

The first on the chain is Nagoya Castle (no not THAT one) near Yobuko on the Kyushu Mainland. I visited there a while back too: https://twitter.com/chadkoh/status/1372746982763098114

Well, we made it all the way to Izuhara in the south. Stopped by the Tsushima Museum which still has a gate from the old Shimizu castle, which was the last in Hideyoshi’s supply chain castles for his invasion of Korea.

Stopped by Bairin-ji, said to be the first Buddhist temple in Japan, which would put it at about the 6th century. The temple on the current site is a small Soto Zen temple.

Made it partway down the island. Here is a famous local shrine Watatsumi. There are 3 torii ⛩️ lined up out into the water (5 if you count the shrine grounds). One was knocked down during a typhoon and preserved. Crawl under it for your wish to come true! 🧞♂️

You see these yellow warning signs everywhere warning about the Tsushima Mountain Cat. Haven’t seen one in the wild yet, but have seen a ton of weasels crossing the road.
So we stopped at the Conservation center and saw a real live mountain cat!

The decisive Tsushima Strait battle in the 1905 Japan-Russia was the first time an Asian power had beat a western one. Russian survivors of the sinking swam to the shore and were taken in by local farmers.
