[Back Post] Japan with Peko-chan 2017 #8/9 - Awaji Island ~wip~

(This post is a currently a work-in-progress, and will be completed at a later date, when I am able to.)

Onokorojima Shrine, Awajishima.

For this leg of our November 2017 trip, we took a short drive from Osaka (Part 7) to Awajishima (淡路島), an island in the Seto Inland Sea between the islands of Honshū and Shikoku. In Shinto mythology, it is also said to be the place of Japan's mystical birth. More on this part of our journey later~~!
