Day 26: Temple 39

Walked mostly along roads today to reach Temple 39, Enkōji. Along the way, we saw people picking broccoli, egrets in rice fields, and butterflies.

A bicyclist stopped us and gave us some candy. He has been doing this for years so I got the 1277 piece he has given away.

The trail to the temple went through a bamboo forest.

Temple 39, Enkōjiwa quiet and had a Koi Turtle pond. We met a guy biking Ohenro.

Back at the hotel, we found a massage chair in the room

We went to a local restaurant and they used a robot to help bus tables so the waiters didn't have to carry heavy dishes.

I walked 26.5 km today and my feet are in good shape. You can see a map of my tracks here (you may have to refresh the page after a minute to get it to show).  If you have Google Earth, it is faster to download a Google Earth file of my adventure from here.
