A Walk Around Kyushu Day 36
Minami Satsuma to Ichiki
Mon August 5th, 2013
I'm upward early on to an overcast day. On this department of the pilgrimage the temples are far apart, but today I volition last visiting one.
I caput off through a deserted downtown Kaseda. I transcend ii railway locomotives. One a smallish steam engine, together with the other a diesel. Strange genuinely every bit in that place is no railway business hither now, but manifestly in that place was i one time upon a time.
I've genuinely lost count of the pose out of steam engines prepare every bit monuments all over Japan. They seem to last really proud of their railway heritage, together with they accept every correct to be, the railway beingness i of the contributing factors to Japan's rapid modernization inwards the like shooting fish in a barrel 19th century.
My route follows the brain route N together with volition eventually go along the coast. It's non peculiarly busy, which is skilful as, similar hence many roads inwards Japan, in that place are sections without sidewalks.
My master copy excogitation for today was to larn every bit far every bit Yunomoto, a hot boundary resort amongst enough of inexpensive minshuku, together with hence tomorrow larn to the station at Satsuma-Sendai together with caput home, but final nighttime I heard that friends I haven't seen inwards a piece volition last putting on a concert close my habitation tomorrow evening, hence I've decided to genuinely force it today together with endeavor to produce ii days walking inwards one.
It starts to drizzle. Not a lot of fun, but beingness moisture together with sweaty is non every bit uncomfortable every bit beingness moisture together with cold. The pelting becomes showery together with I simply pose my caput downwards together with concentrate on roofing ground. No fourth dimension to explore or expect roughly for anything interesting.
The route starts to run along the coast. It powerfulness last pretty inwards the sunlight, but amongst grayness heaven together with grayness H2O it isn't now. I halt inwards at a michi no eki together with accept a intermission nether encompass amongst my pack off. I tin flame come across a shrine laid inwards a grove of trees well-nigh 500 meters away but can't last bothered to go together with explore.
Around the middle of the twenty-four hr current the showers ease off a footling together with I larn out the brain route together with cutting through a hamlet to gain pilgrimage temple pose out 49, Kenzanji.
The driveway leading into the temple has some genuinely overnice artwork. Fairly apartment blue/grey rocks amongst pictures of Buddhas etched into them together with painted gold. I don't shout out upward seeing whatever quite similar this before. The brain hall of the temple is a large surprise. It's a Portakabin....., quite a large i for sure, but yet its i of those temporary buildings that are dropped inwards to edifice sites.
There does non seem to last whatever immediate plans for a "proper" hall to last built. Of class in that place is no argue at all why a temple should accept an expensive, architectural marvel. Nothing incorrect amongst humble.
Behind the portakabin are a duo of altars together with a pocket-sized man-made cave containing a Fudo Myo statue painted brilliant blue. The rocks behind are painted amongst flames together with its quite a quirky thing. The whole identify is a footling quirky. Nothing incorrect amongst quirky.
I caput off together with create upward one's heed to non go dorsum to the brain route but to cutting across province roughly next the prepare line. I transcend through Yunomoto together with vociferation upward the minshuku to cancel my booking. By like shooting fish in a barrel afternoon I gain Ichiki together with create upward one's heed that's it. I hop on a prepare the brusk distance into Sendai together with mass into a hotel. That's the destination of this ten twenty-four hr current leg.
By a really conservative justice I've walked 320km during the hottest business office of the year, making the grand full somewhere roughly 1,000km. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 skilful signal to stop. I volition come upward dorsum downwards to Kyushu inwards the autumn when the leaves are turning for the adjacent leg.
