Sasaura Bay & Benzaiten

In Sasaura Bay, there is a torii gate and a small island. Benzaiten
is a Buddhist goddess enshrined on the island. This island does
not become submerged when it ﬂoods, but rather seems to ﬂoat
on the water. The torii gate makes for a beautiful landscape,especially when there is fall foliage in the mountain behind it.
