A Walk Around Shodoshima Day viii The Final Morning Feb eighth 2016 I had hoped to destination yesterday, but both yesterday together with the twenty-four lx minutes catamenia earlier had been fantabulous days amongst some time-consuming "diversions", thence it leaves me amongst a really curt twenty-four lx minutes catamenia today to finish. The rider vehicle drops me off on the headland sticking out of the N due east of the island. 
As expected amongst dawn's lite the views are great. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 shortcut along the pilgrimage path lets me run out the primary route briefly earlier rejoining it on the descent into Yoshida, a small-scale angling hamlet but amongst a decent sized resort hotel. Heading inland I accomplish Yoshida-an, 83 of the 88. It's a unmarried edifice together with no-one around. Just across the route a overnice local shrine amongst a big tree. Instead of heading downwards the coast the path at nowadays continues inland towards the massive Yoshida Dam. The path at nowadays heads straightaway upward the mountainside, together with though the transcend is exclusively 190 meters higher upward bounding main level, I intend it's the steepest climb of the whole pilgrimage. As I larn closer to the meridian I choose care of views inland to the high solid reason nevertheless blanketed inward cloud. The trail descends chop-chop into the dorsum of Fukuda, the port where ferries from Himeji brand it together with depart. I shortly uncovering Fukuda-an, temple 83. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 footling former lady is cleaning upward within together with every bit I am nearly to caput off she calls me dorsum together with hands me a tray amongst a bowl of zenzai, a soup of sweetness beans, together with a loving cup of tea. The hospitality towards pilgrims hither on Shodoshima has been a existent added bonus to a wonderful walk. I skirt the dorsum of the hamlet together with thence 1 time once to a greater extent than lead keep a path through the woods to accomplish the side past times side temple. Actually, similar a duo of other places on the pilgrimage it's 1 temple but containing 2 of the 88 sacred sites. Unkai-ji, is temple 84, but 1 of the halls within it, Unshi-do, is break 85. It's on the lower slopes at the dorsum of the village, together with thence has a stance looking out over the hamlet together with port. I at nowadays skirt the border of the hamlet together with caput towards the coast together with the primary route that heads south. I'm inward a fleck of a hurry every bit at that spot is a rider vehicle together with ferry connective I desire to brand that volition larn me dwelling menage this even comfortably, thence I no longer tiresome downwards to relish the view. Number 86 Atehama-an is a typical small-scale hermitage similar thence many others, though peering inward the Thousand-Armed Kannon statue seemed quite nice. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 footling farther downwards the coast at that spot is a sign indicate to a path that wanders some 1 of the former quarries where stones for Osaka Castle were produced. 
No fourth dimension every bit I am non making every bit speedy a progress every bit I want. The coast route is really pleasant amongst really footling traffic together with bully views, but at that spot is to a greater extent than upward together with downs than I had thought. Kaitei-an, break 87 passes together with thence it is only 1 to a greater extent than headland to circular earlier the terminal temple, break 88, some other rather uncomplicated hermitage, together with that's it. I'm finished, without nearly 7 minutes left till my planned rider vehicle arrives. At 150 kilometers, the Shodoshima is the shortest of the half dozen long distance pilgrimages I lead keep completed inward Japan, but inward some ways it was the most enjoyable. Part of that was due to the amazing cave temples, together with business office due to the hospitality shown to me past times the locals, but I intend the most enjoyable was that thence much of the route was on path rather than road. Next upward on this weblog volition hold upward the diary of my 48 twenty-four lx minutes catamenia walk along the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.
