A day in the life: To and from work








Some days I work on Islands in the Seto Inland Sea. In particular, Hakatajima and Oshima, which both have several Zosen (Shipyards). In particular, I am going to IS Zosen and Shimanami Zosen. Both are owned under the Imabari Zosen group (Imazo for short, kinda how like Nissan = Nihon Sangyo [Japan Industry], or Nikon = Nihon Kougaku [Japan Optic]. I have to take Ferries to and from them most days, so here are some pictures from the ferry.

A tower that functions as a lighthouse for the port where the ferries take off from. You can see someone walking out on a concrete sea wall, which serve to barrier the harbored ships from waves. It must take at least 15 minutes to walk to where this guy is.

The beginning portions of bridges that island hop from Shikoku to the main island of Honshu, connecting the prefectures of Ehime and Hiroshima.
My port of arrival on Oshima Island.
