Day 52: Back to Temple 6

Today we walked back to Temple 6, Anrakuji where we will stay before closing the loop tomorrow. We left the Ryokan after a good breakfast.



We walked down roads and trails, past rice fields, and a cute rest place until we reached the valley. 








These are the mountains we climbed to get to Temple 12, Shōsanji 48 days ago.


We then walked through suburbs to Temple 8, Kumadaniji where we stopped for a rest break. We borrowed a new ohenro-san's staff to show how much ours have shrunk over the trek. Sawako's is the short one, then mine in the middle, and the tall one is a new staff.



Made it to Anrakuji which has this ohenro-san statue.


We walked 30.3km today. 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.
