A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 72, Hizennagano to Karatsu
Mon March 24th, 2014
Today I revert dorsum to carrying a total pack equally I operate out Sasebo inwards the black on the outset train. When I larn off at Hizen Nagano its starting to larn low-cal exactly everything is blanketed past times thick mist. The mist thins past times the fourth dimension the Sun rises as well as makes everything much to a greater extent than brilliant equally if the droplets of H2O are acting similar magnifying glasses..... which may good live the case.
For a skillful thirty minutes I walk through a wonderfully vivid as well as ethereal landscape. Being at the correct house at the correct fourth dimension cannot live beat. The outset brace of hours are uneventful as well as thence I attain the Matsuura River at Ouchi as well as caput upstream to the outset temple. Kongoji, position out 105, looks similar a large household as well as thence I walked past times it exactly thence had to backtrack. Around the nurture is the room that comprises the temple as well as a modest garden amongst an interesting as well as ornate rock pagoda as well as a dainty Fudo Myo statue.
Now I caput downstream along the busy principal road. In Ouchi I am able to larn off the principal route that bypasses the onetime town middle as well as I halt inwards at the railway station which contains a tourist data office staffed past times a really friendly older lady. I've stopped inwards at quite a few of these types of places, normally off the beaten rail as well as in all likelihood rarely getting tourists stopping by.
She tells me of the town's most of import site, some Buddhist Sekibutsu (cliff carvings) located a brace of miles away as well as offers me the gratis role of a bicycle to larn there, thence I operate out my heavy backpack amongst her as well as direct hold a niggling cycle detour.
The carvings themselves are non really big, exactly a few of them are quite exquisite amongst some fine exceptional as well as a niggling paint remaining. According to the legend, Kukai carved some hither exactly they direct hold long since disappeared. I explore past times a sign that "suggests" the trail is dangerous as well as discovery several to a greater extent than carvings as well as modest altars fix inwards modest caves as well as overhangs. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lovely as well as surprising detour, exactly it's fourth dimension to striking the route thence I caput dorsum as well as drib off the bicycle as well as choice upwards my purse as well as acquit on downwards river.
For much of the agency I direct hold to walk along the main, busy road, exactly at times I tin operate out it as well as walk through the older route that passes through the numerous modest towns. Its a fairly uneventful walk as well as I direct hold a room booked inwards Karatsu this evening as well as demand to hold a fast pace.
The river widens as well as the route spends most of the fourth dimension running along the peak of the embankment. As the river comes to the outskirts of Karatsu is takes a sudden left plough as well as straight off I cutting inwards through some side streets as well as discovery temple 80, Kakurinji. It is on a ascent inwards a higher house the rooftops as well as the route circles or thence the hillside, exactly inwards forepart is the onetime footpath upwards through the bamboo.
I much prefer to approach shrines or temples along the master copy pathway rather than the roads that direct hold been built inwards modern times to allow convenient access to motorized vehicles. The temple itself is quite disappointing, looking to a greater extent than similar a run-down fairly criterion older house, exactly behind it I discovery quite a collection of statues, many of which of Fudo Myo, my favorite.
I caput dorsum to the river, which at this signal is to a greater extent than similar a lagoon. At the narrow entrance to the body of body of water stands Karatsu Castle, similar most inwards Nippon a concrete reconstruction.
My hotel is nigh thence that is where I head. I transcend past times the castle as well as forgo paying the entry fee to enter. I did watch it briefly some years ago. After nigh thirty minutes of dorsum as well as forthing, I lastly larn by to locate my hotel as well as banking concern agree in.
There is nonetheless some fourth dimension left earlier the Sun sets exactly rather than watch the pilgrimage temple inwards the town I caput to the nearby beach for some relaxation. The beach is dainty as well as golden, as well as to the E the castle basks inwards the golden light. To the westward the persuasion is non thence nice, amongst the twin stacks of a refinery or ability plant. There are quite a few tourist sites I desire to watch tomorrow too equally the pilgrimage temple thence I caput dorsum to my room for the night.
