First of all, there is way too much to see and a limited amount on time. Then, the immense details and intricate artistry is breathtaking. So much history and grandeur! It is easy to understand why this entire complex is designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p>

740			<div class="comment-body"><p>This is probably the only location you have visited in the years I have been following you that I have also been to! I was stationed in Iwakuni for a year, and I traveled extensively in Japan. I bought a little Suzuki two-stroke station wagon and traveled a lot locally. For this excursion, we took a bullet train, and another Marine and I went with a Japanese student who was the son of a man whose irrigation system we helped repair. You mentioned that photography was not allowed in certain places. When we went, 70, they made us rent a little locker and we were not allowed to take pics. We were both carrying Nikon F2&#8217;s which we had to leave in the locker. As I mentioned, we were both Marines, and the American military is not popular in Japan, and due to our haircuts, it was hard to hide!</p>
