A Walk Around Kyushu Day 26
Shibushi to Miyakonojo
Fri July 26th, 2013
The possessor of the great guesthouse Suzukaze I stayed inward final nighttime was form plenty to drib me off on the principal route heading due north out of Shibushi towards Miyakonojo even therefore inward Miyazaki Prefecture.
There is or therefore high cloud therefore its a fiddling cooler than yesterday, together with past times the halt of the solar daytime I volition survive at a fiddling higher altitude, therefore that should shave a score or ii of the temperature too. The get-go matter I notice is that it smells similar the countryside! Not similar the Japanese countryside, which doesn't actually accept a noticeable odor, simply similar the English linguistic communication countryside..... the odour of moo-cow shit is prevalent, simply at that spot is no livestock to survive seen. All the cows together with pigs are indoors, the Japanese agency of livestock raising. Seems foreign to me, accustomed equally I am to seeing cows together with sheep out inward the Sun grazing.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 expert pct of the traffic rushing past times is connected to the livestock, either large trucks filled to the brim amongst cows or pigs, or tankers filled amongst creature feed - the silos I saw at the port inward Shibushi were for creature feed, therefore it must survive the principal distribution centre for this job of Kyushu.
The route rises gently, together with therefore dips or therefore earlier rising again, simply nil likewise strenuous. I am glad I chose this route rather than the to a greater extent than forthwith route over the mountains. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 side route has a large vermillion torii straddling it, signifying that a largish shrine must survive downwards the road.
The route goes downhill, together with at that spot is no telling how far the shrine is, simply it promises to survive a fairly uneventful route today therefore I caput downwards to investigate. The shrine was mildly interesting, simply equally I was heading dorsum to the route I spied what looked similar a small-scale statues inward the corner of the rice paddy downwards below. Could this survive a Tanokami? The God of the Rice Paddy, tanokami, is a key job of traditional Japanese religion, spending the wintertime on top of the mount equally yamanokami, it descends inward the jump to sentinel over together with protect the paddies, earlier returning to the mount after harvest.
You don't listen much close the tanokami nowadays, though inward the countryside it is even therefore important. I had heard that inward parts of southern Kyushu at that spot even therefore existed tanokami statues, together with equally I scrambled downwards the embankment I was delighted to uncovering that that is precisely what it was.
Feeling revved I strode off upwardly the road, simply the estrus together with humidity shortly reduced me to a steady slog. Miyakonojo is spread out over a basin, together with the room I'd booked for the nighttime was at the far northern halt of the town. There seemed fiddling of involvement except a rather dilapidated looking auditorium that looked similar a large concrete tent held upwardly past times a steel frame of girders.
Obviously built inward the days when Nihon had therefore much coin to pass edifice expensive architectural wonders that since accept fallen into virtual disuse. I afterwards acquire that it was designed past times the same architect that designed the Kyoto International Conference Center.
I halt inward at a duad of shrines together with equally the Sun starts to interruption through I halt oftentimes inward spots of shade. I depository fiscal establishment gibe inward to my hotel, together with after an lx minutes inward the AC I experience suitable revived to become out together with produce a fiddling exploring inward the golden calorie-free of the early on evening, the Sun having at nowadays broken through completely.
Near the hotel I had seen a real large, monumental torii amongst its legs astride the route together with therefore I caput to the shrine together with acquire by to acquire or therefore expert shots inward the perfect light. Nearby I passed a huge marriage chapel. Earlier inward the afternoon I had passed a small-scale church.
Though at that spot are relatively few Christians inward Nihon it is non uncommon to honour a small-scale church building inward most towns. Often wooden, amongst a small-scale cross on the roof, they are non at all ostentatious, simply these marriage chapels are oftentimes actually over the top, based on renaissance or Gothic European cathedrals, they are at nowadays the preferred site for many Japanese to concord their ridiculously expensive marriage ceremonies. There is a pilgrimage temple inward the town, the argue I came here, simply it is on the route towards tomorrow's destination, therefore I volition catch it then.
