I caput off into the mist. Not every bit thick every bit yesterday's morning time mist, but brighter because the the world as well as vegetation is covered alongside a thick layer of crystalline frost. The offset business office of today's walk volition accept me to a temple nigh 10km upwardly the valley, as well as from at that topographic point a determination must live on made that has been preoccupying me for the yesteryear few days.
The mist is shortly burned off to unwrap a clear bluish sky, though the state is steaming every bit the rigid Sun offset melts the frost thence evaporates it. The valley is broad as well as I am on a small, serenity route unopen to the foothills of the Kirishima Mountains on my right. There is non much activeness or traffic. The small-scale farming settlements I overstep through are still.
The signs of rural reject are evident inwards the long abandoned small-scale stores as well as gas stations. About one-half means to the temple the route crosses the rails business that runs unopen to the border of the gingko tree.
An amazingly long lived tree, both individually as well as every bit a species, individuals tin alive for to a greater extent than than 1,000 years, though at that topographic point are none inwards Nippon that onetime every bit they were brought from mainland People's Republic of China yesteryear Buddhist monks inwards the twelfth century, which is why thence many of them tin live on flora at temples or shrines.
As a species they are too real ancient, alongside a unopen relative having been on the globe for 270 meg years. The temple itself is quite small-scale but pleasant, alongside a large concrete original hall alongside several smaller wooden halls. There is a fine statue of Fudo Myo, as well as a small-scale covered shrine to Kannon alongside a dainty collection of dolls plus, a bonus for me, a collection of masks.
It's straight off belatedly morning time as well as a determination must live on made nigh which administration to caput now. The adjacent pilgrimage temples are almost straight northward of where I am, as well as that is patch the shortest route, but betwixt me as well as the temples are a make of 1200 meter high mountains. There is a mount route that starts nigh hither that goes over the mountains topping out at a overstep a pilus nether 1,000 meters, as well as this has been my planned route.
The route follows the Sendai River upwardly to its source, as well as at that topographic point is an elegance to the persuasion of continuing to follow the river. About halfway upwardly the mount I tin accept a small-scale detour as well as hike to an interesting stone formation alongside a shrine that has been known every bit a "power spot" long earlier the electrical flow trendy versions receive got buy the farm popular. Because of its remote place it is rarely visited. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 large summation inwards my book.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 24 threescore minutes hike across wild mountains volition for sure live on exhilarating as well as enjoyable. All these factors are pluses. The primary component division contention against choosing this route is snow. The upper reaches of the route gets closed for the wintertime as well as may already live on so. Of course of didactics that is for vehicles, as well as thence could live on walked, but I don't know how much snowfall as well as H2O ice volition live on upwardly there.
From here, looking at the Sun soaked southern human face upwardly of the make at that topographic point is no snow, but on the other side of the overstep the route does some windy switchbacks which volition almost for sure include sections where the Sun doesn't accomplish at this fourth dimension of the twelvemonth as well as at that topographic point could good live on snowfall as well as H2O ice that could live on problematical. One other component division is the temperature. By the fourth dimension it gets night I should live on but at the highest point, as well as today downward hither at 250 meters at that topographic point was a skillful freeze. At 1,000 meters it volition live on very, real cold. Not a huge work every bit my sleeping purse tin grip it. My other choice is to caput dorsum downward the valley to where the mountains are non thence high as well as cross over there. What to do?
