it was cold. I got up at 6:30. |
||||
0623 | ||||
The kitchen and the toilet are like this. The building at the back is a toilet and a shower. |
||||
0624 | ||||
Mr. A boiled coffee in the morning. He seemed to have brought croissants, He divided also to gave me. Thankfully. Well, regarding ash cleaning after a fire. We cleaned without leaving ashes at all. See you again. We said good bye each, I will head to Kakurinji(鶴林寺). |
||||
0736 | ||||
I climb the road from riverside and run by bicycle. | ||||
0815 | ||||
I will return to the town of Katsuura Katsuura.and
I will buy lunch (Katsu - don) at a convenience
store. I begin to climb mountains from the town office. |
||||
0826 | ||||
I began to climb towards (鶴林寺) Kakurin-ji. | ||||
0828 | ||||
0835 | ||||
This is the place called Tsurutouge(鶴峠). The road on the left is the road that comes up from the Nakagawa(那賀川). It is the way to go down to Tairyuu-ji(太竜寺) after I have visited Kakurin-ji(鶴林寺). I am going to the right,now. |
||||
0840 | ||||
|
||||
0841 | ||||
However, the pilgrim way is made straight. Pilgrim way crosses the road at right angle and climbs straight. People on the pedestrian sit and rest. |
||||
0843 | ||||
Car and bicycle draw hairpin and go up to
S shape, The walkers will climb directly. So speed is about the same as bicycle. "Oh, I met you again." "Oh, I saw you again." "Somewhat, it is the same speed you are ..." "See you again" "I am glad to see you" We will meet the same person over and over again and again. We becomes very close together. |
||||
0850 | ||||
No.20 鶴林寺(Kakurin-ji) |
0901 | |||
It is 鶴林寺山門Kakurin-ji gate. worship No.20、鶴林寺(Kakurinji) |
||||
0928 | ||||
I camped last night so I could not charge I run while charging from the battery. However, this method was not good. The connector part has broken. I put the same route on replacement tablet terminal. Still it is much lighter than having a paper map. It was good as a result that the navigation was broken. "If so, that's OK." This accident opened me the way to use map software with my smartphone. As with everything, a "bad event" comes in pair with " good opportunity to start a new,good thing". I try to find an something good appendix that should accompany it, if a bad thing happens. |
||||
0933 | ||||
I feel that the top of the mountain over
there is Tairyuuji Temple(太龍寺). Is it wrong? |
||||
0941 | ||||
You need to go to the right to get on the
ropeway.People walking up will go to the
left. I will also go to the left and climb a narrow mountain path. |
||||
0942 | ||||
I will cross a bridge that is high enough
to feel scary. It is called a suii bridge(水井橋). Please imagine the dial-plate of the clock. Now that Tairyu-ji(太龍寺) is at the center of the needle,and I am standing at 6 o'clock. Cross the Suii bridge(水井橋), climb a mountain straight and go to the center of the needle.This is the fastest.It is the route taken by the walkers. The car goes round the way to the 9 o'clock position and goes up from that place.Bicycles are also so. The 十八女橋(Sskaribashi) is located at 7:30 on the downstream. There seems to be a way to walk from there to climb. And the ropeway platform is located at 2:30 of the clock. It is a place opposite from here. |
||||
0951 | ||||
I will go through a narrow street. The path of the pedestrian is already divided into mountain paths. Car and bicycle go ahead and detour and climb. |
||||
0952 | ||||
I will follow along the Nakagawa(那賀川). | ||||
0954 | ||||
0957 | ||||
Here is sakari(十八女) town. It is written in Japanese as "十八女" (18-year-old woman). We are read as "sakari". |
||||
0957 | ||||
1003 | ||||
Kamocho加茂町 is here. | ||||
1017 | ||||
民宿坂口屋 It is in front of Minshuku Sakaguchiya.
Minshuku (民宿)= private home that runs providing room I will go right here. |
||||
1018 | ||||
龍山荘, I will go through the road in front of Ryusanso. | ||||
1020 | ||||
Well, I have to put heavy baggage somewhere. | ||||
1027 | ||||
There was a field fence where I went a little
sideways. I will tie down the luggage to the fence and leave behind. The bicycle has become much lighter than before. I will also leave the cutlet on rice for lunch. It was this place that I suffered at the stage of the bicycle pilgrimage plan this time. It is a problem of the place of baggage when going up to Tairyuji(太龍寺). I thought of staying at Sakaguchiso, Ryusanso. However, considering the passing time zone here, that is impossible. I decided "I should go there for the time and then think about it later." I came with plans to put it somewhere. I managed to solve it if I came. |
||||
1030 | ||||
I will go up the rough road. For this bad road, the uphill is not that much of a problem,Downhill seems to be hard to run. By the way, there is no shooting of the street view of Google from here. |
||||
1032 | ||||
I do not know from here.It is an unknown
area. |
||||
1036 | ||||
The road is narrow, oblique, rugged road surface, it is a sharp gradient, there is no guardrail. | ||||
1043 | ||||
Take a slope for a picture and you will see
it flat. It is quite a steep slope, but it looks flat. |
||||
1045 | ||||
I have come to a place where the up road
and the down road be separated. The road only for uploading is right. |
||||
1054 | ||||
It is finally becoming a steep slope path. I thought that the gradient was about the same as Mitake san entrance pass(御岳山参道). |
||||
1054 | ||||
We do not quite understand it in the photograph There are places like cliffs.It's also long. |
||||
1057 | ||||
Even if it falls from here, no one will notice
it. There is no choice but to climing up to the roadside on my own. |
||||
1101 | ||||
I arrived at the parking lot, but I still have to go up. | ||||
1102 | ||||
Actually I have to walk from here, but I
will go as far as I can. It will almost be pressed. |
||||
1105 | ||||
It was only a little that I was able to ride a bicycle. | ||||
1108 | ||||
I almost push it. | ||||
1110 | ||||
I occasionally try to ride the bicycle, but I can not bear as much as 10 meters. | ||||
1119 | ||||
Walk to walk, push and push .... | ||||
1123 | ||||
Pass through gate. There is still ahead. |
||||
1124 | ||||
Press and push. | ||||
1127 | ||||
I tried to surprise everyone by riding a bicycle
but no one was in the place I climbed. Nobody comes when I am riding a bicycle, but someone comes up when I get down and start pushing. Even though I said "I have been aboard, but ..." nobody praises me. |
||||
No.21 太龍寺(Tairyu-ji) |
1130 | |||
I arrived. |
||||
1131 | ||||
The bicycle can not go any further. It means that there are other people who come by bicycle. No.21、太龍寺(Tairuuji) worship |
||||
1137 | ||||
I can see the station of the ropeway far
below. I tried waiting a bit for someone not coming up, but no one will climb, so I will hurry ahead. There are people who walk a bicycle and get on a ropeway. And, on the way back there seems to be a person riding a bicycle. If you come up here with a ropeway I think that you would be better to return using a ropeway. If you climbed here riding a bicycle you know the state of the road. But if you came here with a ropeway, when you going back,you will run dangerous road of the first steep slope by bicycle. |
||||
1159 | ||||
Well, I will go down.But. When going down, steep slope, the decoration of the road surface, very much. The total load will be applied to the front wheels. The tire of the front wheel is squashed, in addition, it is dangerous, dangerous, dangerous on the road. If you ride on a ropeway with such a big baggage that you can not climb up by self-propelled. When you go down this slope. The total load of that heavy load hits the previous tire. This road is the way you run for the first time, if you are not very careful, tire will be punctured and you will fall to the valley. |
||||
1204 | ||||
I will go down further. I will go down same distance that I got up.. There is a person who says, "Downhill is a reward that climbed up and sweated". To tell the trues.I am drowsy and dangerous work for me. I came down to the place where I put on my luggage and I ate a lunch on a small bridge and then I will go ahead. Lunch is katsudon. Katsudon is a bowl of rice topped with slices of deep-fried pork, beaten egg, and slices of onions cooked in a sweet soy sauce based broth. |
||||
1305 | ||||
I finally got to a beautiful way. | ||||
No.22 平等寺(Byodo-ji) |
1328 | |||
No.22、平等寺(Byoudouji) Did worship I will run towards the sea from here. |
||||
1414 | ||||
Since I want to leave early tomorrow morning,
I will worship Yakuouji-Temple(薬王寺) No.23 in the day today. After that, I will eat and go back to the campsite. |
1426 | |||

No.23 薬王寺(Yakuo-ji) |

No.23、Did worship 薬王寺(Yakuoji)。 「お接待」はサービスではない ? --NHKテキスト ("Osettai" is not a service? --NHK text) Kishuu-settai-kou(紀州接待講) is done at this time every year in Yakuouji(薬王寺) here. People from Wakayama Prefecture serve generous hospitality to the pilgrims. This year it is from 28th to 30th in March. This day has not yet begin.. 紀州接待講について、 お接待について。山本 和加子著四国遍路の民衆史 (About Osettai. Yamamoto Wakako, author, Shikoku Pilgrim's popular history)---- In the village that Settai-kou(接待講) was done, there was no single village where rise in a riot did not occur.That poor farmers started Settai-kou(接待講) for pilgrimage. They voluntarily started Settai-kou(接待講) without being forced from anyone. They started Settai-kou(接待講) despite the shortage of what they himself could eat. They began to served with rice 1gou(180cc,150g) or soy beans 1gou(180cc,140g) respective. They cut down on their own eating,They came flocking with food little by little each other. A year that Kishuu-Settai-kou(紀州接待講) of Koyasan territory started was 1819. A year without crops lasted long,the 1823The peasants' uprising finally was occurred. During years without long lasting crops. On the one hand, the farmers started Settai-kou(接待講) while raising riots. And, the Settai-ship(接待船) which piled the food and goods of the farmers descended down the Kinokawa (紀ノ川) every year without fail. Farmers in Koyasan territory did not believe their lords. Many pilgrims visited Koyasan(高野山), a sacred place of Kobo-Daishi(弘法大師) from far country. However, the local people did not acknowledge the existence of Kobo-Daishi(弘法大師) master among the high priest who wore a 錦織の法衣(Nishikiori-no-Hoe=a robe of a Buddhist priestof of Japanese brocade) in gorgeous golden temple. Than that. People felt Kobo-Daishi(弘法大師) in the figure of a pilgrim walking on a cliff while getting wet with the waves from the desolated ocean. They felt Kobo-Daishi(弘法大師) in the figure of a pilgrimage climbing the mountain path while was blowing in the cold wind from the mountains. And they were feeling the heart of Kobo-Daishi(弘法大師) in their own mind while they were doing Osettai(お接待) to pilgrimage. . 接待Settai= to offer food and shelter as genuine hospitality 講Kou=It is an organization of mutual assistance organized for savings or lending of money. 一揆Ikki= rise in a riot 参詣人Sanpainin= Pilgrimage people 絢爛豪華Kenrangouka= Gorgeous |

There is a hot spring next to the temple. I think it was 500 yen. It is a Yakuoujii temple hot spring. I entered a hot spring and ate a pork cutlet meal set at a restaurant. |
||||
1730 | ||||
I ran to the east in the opposite direction
to Muroto Misaki(室戸岬). Ebisudou(恵比寿洞). From the other side of the ocean, I think I am more amazing. I can not see it unless it is a ship. |
||||
1735 | ||||
There is such a hole. | ||||
1753 | ||||
Ebisuhama(恵比寿浜) Campsite located one bay from Ebisudou 恵比寿洞. I avoided the wind and put a tent on the edge. |
