Day 35 – Temple Room

Great night of sleep. Much needed. My feet were not happy this morning however. I stop at Lawson for breakfast and then on the road. Another 56 road walk today. I stop briefly at a henro hut with 2 Japanese pilgrims. We all share food. It is so natural to just give and receive from the ohenro community. Very nice gentlemen with way more pace than me. I get to Ozu City and realize I have some time. I walk over to the castle and take pictures. Impressive fortification for sure. I walk back down and head for the temple. I ask the lady if I can stay she says yes with a big smile. I love the Japanese. I drop my bag and head to the onsen. CLOSED! No! I love a good onsen. I pick up food for tomorrow and have a restaurant meal. It was ok but the sundae was solid. I am just finishing this note and it will be bedtime. Good night all.
