After the wonderful concert and tea ceremony it was time to leave for our sighteeing journey around the Miyazaki area. We visited the Devil's Washboard, created by crashing waves. We also visted the Udo shrine, where I was able to see a child being brought for a baptism by the Shinto priest.We also threw in clay balls into a rock bowl above the ocean for good luck.Women throw the balls with their right hand and men use their left. I was at a disadvantage, being left handed. Eiko made her throw! This meant she would get her wish.Then we travelled to Obi castle town which was the main castle of the Ito clan during the Edo period(1603-1867).
