Iwaya Temple (45) Walk
Beautiful weather & a nice walking trail
It's signposted and not a perilous slope or jungle too! There are even little positive messages along the way.

I was offered a free ginger tea at a stall here, and it was absolutely delicious - totemo omushiroi!

Afternoon walking route to not so well-trodden!
Oops, I lost it completely...but close to the main summit path now...

Phew, that got a bit scrambley - glad to have rejoined the main pilgrim trail!
The trail back to the campsite via the summit seemed to be one of those magic, disappearing trails too, so I decided to retrace my steps all the way on the pilgrim trail. It is rather nice too!
Working the land
Ploughing by hand - very hot work in today's sunshine!

On the bike to go see a waterfall and go to the supermarket after an overpriced, but very tasty, strawberry ice-cream at the campsite.
Apparently they've fixed the hot water to the showers today 🙂

Ogoe Falls Waterfall
Maybe if I'd made it here while the sun was still high it would have been nice to have a splash!
