Imajuku to Fujisaki
I instruct upwards early on together with select grip of a prepare out to Imajuku then I tin dismiss tick off the lastly 2 temples from the listing of 108 that contain the pilgrimage. It is exclusively almost x kilometers then I should destination inward enough of fourth dimension to select grip of a prepare dorsum home. I really had quite a chip of problem finding the commencement temple, seat out 84, Hozoin inward Meinohama. It's located inward an expanse of narrow streets alongside small-scale houses packed closed together, together with but looks similar a regular house, though 1 time entering the narrow front end yard it is packed total of statues.
It has exclusively but gotten lite together with it appears to live all locked upwards then I caput off. The route I am on is the sometime Karatsu Kaido, the old route that ran from Hakata to Karatsu, together with a historical marking together with sign exhibit what is used to live like, but all that's left is the narrowness of the route equally everything else looks to bring been constructed inward the twentieth century, together with the latter one-half of the the twentieth century at that.
Behind a wall I run into a vermillion painted shrine, a Sumiyoshi Shrine, but curiously the gate is locked. I can't think always having constitute shrine grounds locked before. Certainly inward towns together with cities the shrine buildings volition live locked up, dissimilar rural shrines which are oft left open. Not equally good much farther together with I come upwards to a hillside covered inward blossoming cherry trees together with a span of torii leading upwards the steps. That is where I notice the adjacent together with lastly temple, seat out 85, Kannonji. In front end of the primary hall is a wonderful old cherry tree inward total blossom. Gnarly together with alongside thick, creamy blossoms, quite dissimilar the trees on the approach, which, I believe, are are a fairly modern hybrid together with straight off the commonest type. I much prefer these older variants. There is a nice, vivid bluish together with cerise Fudo statue, together with inward its ain piffling edifice a genuinely exquisite painted carving of a Thousand-Armed Kannon.
So straight off I bring finished, 108 temples. Heading to the station I terminate inward adjacent door to the temple at the Atago Shrine. Many Atago shrines, similar this one, are located on the tops of hills or mountains. This 1 is quite pop for the views it offers over Fukuoka. The shrine has some interesting komainu, together with the views are really quite extensive.
Heading downwardly the loma I exceed through nevertheless 1 to a greater extent than shrine, this fourth dimension an Inari shrine. I hit the metropolis below together with past times straight off it's busy together with noisy, caput across the span to the subway station together with caput home. I am elated to bring completed my journey, but already I am busy planning my adjacent one. I bring then enjoyed this walk that I quest to start some other one. The adjacent 1 volition live a walk roughly Chugoku, which comprises the 5 prefectures of Okayama, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Shimane, together with Tottori. H5N1 mere 1200 kilometers or so.
