A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 46, Matsubase to Kumamoto City
Sabbatum Nov 30th, 2013
Another fine solar daytime for this concluding solar daytime of this leg of my walk. Like yesterday this ane volition too live on a relatively curt ane giving me ample fourth dimension to explore tourist sites inwards Kumamoto city itself.
From hither the route as well as track as well as shinkansen lines all follow the same route towards the city. For the start threescore minutes or therefore its is nevertheless generally rural but it presently becomes to a greater extent than urban. I overstep past times a huge marshaling yard for shinkansen.
They are sure enough convenient as well as fast for getting from indicate to indicate inwards a hurry, if you lot tin afford them! I figure they go but nearly 100 times faster than me.
Now the traffic, buildings, as well as dissonance increases every bit I am into the sprawl of Kumamoto. The start pilgrimage temple, Honzo-in, is a pocket-sized urban temple, non whatever bigger than a large house, but behind its walls are a few statues.
From hither I caput almost postulate due east towards Suizenji Garden. There are quite a few golden-leaved trees along the roads but urban walking is non therefore much fun therefore I but pose my caput downwardly as well as encompass the dry reason every bit fast every bit possible.
I had been to the garden before, but that fourth dimension I was in that place early on inwards the morning time as well as the best views of the garden were dorsum lit as well as therefore non therefore good. This fourth dimension it was afternoon as well as the Sun illuminated the garden views better.
There was enough of splashes of color to a greater extent than or less the edges, but the primary persuasion is rolling “hills” of grass alongside a few trees, including the famous persuasion of Fujisan.
This fourth dimension of the twelvemonth the grass had died as well as the ochre was inwards some ways to a greater extent than dramatic than when it was green. From hither I caput northward due east to the side past times side pilgrimage temple, Kongoji. It's a concrete structure, but dissimilar the previous temple it has no grounds at all, beingness inwards fact upwardly inwards the air on pillars therefore that the underneath tin live on used for parking.
Not much hither to run into therefore I caput to the major temple of Kumamoto, Honmyoji. Compared to the smaller temples I've been visiting on the pilgrimage, it's impressive, beingness built to memorialize the smashing samurai lord Kato Kiyomasa, the human being who built Kumamoto Castle.
Honmyoji is built on a loma looking at Kumamoto Castle over the urban gist as well as therefore is approached upwardly a long broad avenue flanked alongside temples as well as and then a long serial of steps.
There is nevertheless color inwards the trees as well as the heaven is at ane time clear as well as blue. So I at ane time caput dorsum to the station expanse where I bring my room for the night. H5N1 quick hold off to a greater extent than or less some of the Artpolis Projects inwards the neighborhood as well as and then fourth dimension for a privy as well as beer.
So that's the destination of this 10 solar daytime leg of my journey, as well as a thoroughly enjoyable 10 days it has been. I volition live on dorsum inwards a few weeks for some other longish leg over the Christmas as well as New Year's Day Period. I bring at ane time walked to a greater extent than or less 1,260 kilometers, likely more.
