A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 64, Nagasaki to Nagaura
Th March sixth 2014
I select care of a prepare N out of Nagasaki from Nagasaki Station to avoid the long slog through the metropolis alongside its rush hr traffic. From Michinoo station it is withal genuinely built upwards too busy but at to the lowest degree I've avoided a long ho-hum climb. I shortly arrive at Togitsu, and, equally I am prone to do, I notice the manhole covers that clitoris roughly kind of towering stone formation. H5N1 piddling chip farther too I tin regard the stone pillar protruding higher upwards the tree on the hillside behind the primary road. Apparently it's called Tsugi Ishi Bozu. I reject the detour upwards the hillside for a closer look.
Once I teach to what appears to last the town middle I create brand a detour. My map shows a big shrine that I fancy exploring. On my agency to the shrine I come upwards across what must stimulate got been a rich man's house. It is all locked upwards too at that topographic point is no signboard explaining what it is or who it belonged to. Not much unlike from many similar houses I've come upwards across that are opened upwards to Earth alongside an entrance fee.
I discovery the shrine on the hillside nearby. It's an Inari shrine, which are commonly really popular, too at that topographic point are lots of smaller shrines scattered around. Inside the primary hall is a statue of a woman someone figure riding a fox, 1 of the 2 almost mutual representations of Inari, the other existence an onetime white-haired human being carrying rice.
As alongside all Inari shrines at that topographic point are hundreds of pocket-size play a joke on figurines left equally offerings. There is equally good a white stone komainu though it is really much inwards Chinese style, non then uncommon inwards the Nagasaki expanse I guess.
I caput dorsum to the primary route too shortly arrive at the shore of Omura Bay. The railway trouble too motorway caput upwards the eastern shore of the bay too I am taking the route upwards what I promise to last the much quieter western shore. Lined upwards on the concrete wharf hither at the southern border at that topographic point are 4 Ebisu statues. Probably collected together hither from the surrounding neighborhood. Ebisu seems to last really pop hither inwards Nagasaki.
The primary route hugs the shore where infill too concrete stimulate got extended the state out into the water. Fortunately I tin stimulate got the older roads that quietly air current through the villages. There are shrines aplenty including several to a greater extent than to Inari. At 1 shrine at that topographic point is a sumo band inwards the grounds. H5N1 raised expanse of packed world alongside a thick rope layed out inwards a circle embedded inwards the ground.
Some areas of Nihon tend to stimulate got sumo rings at shrines whereas roughly don't. As I teach farther away from the conurbation of Nagasaki the scenery of the bay becomes prettier. It's a narrow, convoluted bay alongside lots of pocket-size islands. It's genuinely to a greater extent than similar a lake equally the inlet into the bay is simply a really narrow channel that I volition last crossing tomorrow.
There are a lot of love hotels, though they seem to last a piddling to a greater extent than modern too upmarket than those I commonly run across inwards rural areas. The traffic thins a piddling equally the 24-hour interval wears on, though detours off the primary route to see shrines are a peaceful break. The route cuts inland too rises to cross over a headland that juts into the bay.
As I come upwards downwards the other side I regard Nagaura nestles along the H2O ahead. It's withal relatively early on inwards the 24-hour interval but I stimulate got booked a room hither inwards a pocket-size waterfront ryokan. I am the entirely invitee too my room looks out over the water. I pass the concluding few hours of the 24-hour interval sitting on the dock of the bay watching the colors of the stance across the H2O modify equally the Sun gets lower behind me.
