A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 66, Haiki to Sasebo
Sabbatum March eighth 2014
For the end calendar week or hence of my pilgrimage at that topographic point has truly been real few pilgrimage temples to visit. There has been days of walking betwixt some of them, but the adjacent few weeks that volition encounter me completing the walk roughly Kyushu at that topographic point are many pilgrimage temples hence I volition hold out visiting several a day. I volition non hold out next the route suggested inward the guidebook, which was written for people driving the route, but volition zigzag somewhat inward a route that makes to a greater extent than feel for mortal walking.
Like today I volition hold out based inward Sasebo in addition to exit yesteryear develop to each department of the walk. This has the payoff of me non having to behave a total pack, merely a hateful solar daytime pack. Once I laid out at Haiki the Sun comes upwardly in addition to for a spell I walk along the banking corporation of the Haiki Strait, hence get got a wonderful sentiment of golden reflections inward the withal water. I start to caput east, inland upwardly a river. I volition hold out returning to Sasebo this night but straightaway I am heading straight away from it. The route climbs to a transcend in addition to and hence drops downwards to the Kawatana River valley in addition to I caput upwardly it to the commencement temple of the day.
Tozenji, seat out 66 on the pilgrimage, in addition to similar all the others belonging to the Shingon sect. Where the primary hall should hold out is merely a apartment surface area of gravel amongst strings stretched out mark where I presume the novel hall volition hold out built. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 immature priest comes out of a edifice in addition to invites me within for tea. Like all the priests I get got met on this journeying he expresses surprise at a foreigner walking the pilgrimage.
I inquire in addition to have permission to teach through the debate in addition to explore behind the temple. There is a narrow gully filled amongst mossy rocks on tiptop of which stand upwardly pocket-size statues wearing reddish hats in addition to bibs. The coloring combination of moss greenish amongst vermillion has come upwardly to hold out iconic for me. I state my good daytime in addition to he gives me some fruit in addition to snacks to accept amongst me.
I proceed due north towards Hasami town pump in addition to hence plough westward in addition to caput towards Sasebo. I transcend a lot of brick chimneys though nigh of them get got derelict buildings underneath. Across the hills is Arita, famous for porcelain. Here inward Hasami they brand porcelain too, though it is non equally good known.
The chimneys belong to former potteries. I come upwardly to a busier primary route in addition to a few hundred meters along encounter a roadside diner, a Big Man burger joint. Sasebo Burgers are quite famous, an fantabulous article on them tin hold out institute here, hence I destination for lunch, in addition to I get got to state it was an fantabulous meal, amid the best burgers I get got always had inward Japan.
Along the route at Mikawachi I bring together upwardly amongst the railway in addition to primary route heading into Haiki in addition to on to Sasebo. I caput off the primary route in addition to meander upwardly to the adjacent temple, seat out 71, Jyosen-ji.
There is nix outstanding here, though a path lined amongst 33 Kannon statues leads through manicured bushes. So dorsum to the primary road. It's straightaway urban all the means inward in addition to other than a few shrines at that topographic point is nix much to written report until inward the southern business office of downtown Sasebo I plough upwardly through the entrance gate of Seigan-ji temple.
It's non on the pilgrimage but seems to hold out the nigh interesting temple inward Sasebo. It's a fairly long walk upwardly into the wooded hillside, in addition to turns out to hold out good worth the visit. The many buildings are situated adjacent to a cliff which has numerous altars within overhangs, but the primary affair is at that topographic point are lots of statues.
It's peaceful equally the hum of the metropolis does non accomplish in, in addition to the multifariousness of statues keeps me occupied amongst taking photos. Walking the end kilometer it is withal sunny in addition to hence I determine to teach on to the adjacent pilgrimage temple today rather than tomorrow morning. It is less than a kilometer from my hotel in addition to located on a hillside amongst a flake of a sentiment over he metropolis towards the port.
All the buildings at Daichi-in, temple 104, are concrete, but at that topographic point are some pocket-size plum trees inward bloom, a massive newspaper lantern hanging over the steps to the primary hall, in addition to a dyad of older wooden Nio hence at that topographic point is a fiddling atmosphere. And that's it for the day, I'm off to explore the nightlife in addition to dining possibilities of Sasebo.
