Itinerary description
|
After checking that I carry a lot of weight, I see the way to take my backpack to the next point and I only take what is necessary for today, luckily I had a small backpack.
After breakfast I go by the road to the Minshuku Tsugizakura-oji and I am going to take the road, we have to do about 4 kilometers by road the old road was coming through here. The weather is still good, hot and humid, although in the afternoon there may be storms, today we have continuous ups and downs, but we reached a point where the road is in poor condition, so before making a climb , we have a detour.
We take the river bank and start a one kilometer climb to have 3 km down, again we join the initial path, here we find a statue called Jagata Jizo, but again we have a climb to the highest point of the day. On the way the information poles are made of wood, they are inscribed in the distance you are making, they are at a distance of 500 m.
Today I am also finding small temples with their toris, they are impressive in the middle of the forest, we also have our dose of stairs type climb.
From here we have a nice descent following a river, we reach the crossroads where the Akagi-goe road leads to the village of Yunomine Onsen, but we follow shortly we see a temple with a tori.
Further on we have another small temple called Hosshinmon-oji is known as "the door to awakening by the aspiration to enlightenment".
A little further on we had the possibility of taking a bus because the kilometers that were left were by road but it escaped me, thank goodness the road was with very little traffic. This part became a bit long and heavy, the arrival to Hongu is very beautiful, it is entered by the Kumano Hongu Taisha temple, one of the main ones of the Kumano Kodo route, as it was already late I could see the temple with few people.
Accommodation: Blu Sky Guesthouse, highly recommended.
The next stage.- 3rd
