How is the weather.
I tried reach for the hand from the window.
But in my hand there was no feeling of raindrops.
Rain grains do not seem to be falling at all.

I left the Imabari-Station-Hotel and headed to No.58 仙遊寺(Senyuuji).
I am planning to arrive at the temple at seven.
I will plan to leave the hotel based on the estimated time that I arrive at the temple.
However, as there are many slopes on the way to the temple, I want to leave the hotel as soon as possible.
After all, I will leave the hotel as soon as possible.
The hotel was with breakfast.

The climbing slope continues.

There are plenty of easy-to-understand directions.

But early in the morning, so as not to sweat,
I climb slowly so as not to strain the heart.

I entered the town of Komatsu.
I will leave my luggage in the inn which I plan to stay tonight.
and I try to climb up the slope.
About 13 km from here.

The bicycle is light as I have a reservation the business hotel Komatsu that I left my luggage.
I will go up to Yokomineji(横峰寺).
Pilgrim who came down from number 60.temple.
1028
-Bicycle equipment ---
I will bring a road bike for my bicycle.
I felt that the slope of Taiyuji(太龍寺) and Yokomineji(横峰寺) could not run up except Road-bike.
And other bicycles are too heavy to do Rinko (to pack the bicycle and place it on the plane).

Uenohara(上野原)
Shuttle bus depot.
It is 1750 yen round trip from here and the distance is about 8 km one way.

The road is the steepest while going up along the canyon.
Apart from canyon, when it starts zigzag, it becomes somewhat gentle.
1052
I run the leftmost side avoiding the passing car.
However, because there is moss growing on the road, I will slip.

It is a tollgate for people climbing up by car.

"Please, go as it is,"

It is a steep slope.

This is a shuttle bus.
There is a sign saying "Please do not overtake the bus."
The buses are keeping in touch with each other wirelessly.
Because there was a signboard that wrote an intermediate number,
"Where are you stopping at what number?" .
The bus and bus are keeping in touch with earch other.

It is impossible to pass by this curve.
1147
While carefully watching the car coming down, I managed to get up to here.
1207
The parking lot is a lot higher than the temple.
I stop the bicycle here and walk down.
I will go down the narrow sidewalk next to the road.
1213
It is a zigzag sidewalk.
1217
The main hall came into sight.
I went down a lot of slopes.
The cleansing water was at the more lower place, so I forgot to wet my hands before I worship.
I wonder why every temple likes the stairs so much.

Then, it is Koon-ji(香園寺) which is very similar to Meiji-za(明治座).
There is a staircase on the left side of the way.
The place where I went up was Taishido(太子堂).
Two young ladies began to climb,
When they started climbing up the stairs, they started Rock-paper-scissors play.
If you win, go up a few steps ... lose... stop,
They were playing like that.
They are funny people.

I was chantting "Hannya-shingyou(般若心経)" sutra secretly, alone.
Quietly I was saying "Ku-fuishiki, Shikisokuze Koo ..."
Imperceptibly,A lot of people from the group surrounded me, "Kanji Zai Bo Sats ..."
Loud, start a big chorus.
Although I was chanting somewhere along the way,
My voice was swallowed by the group's big voice.
After all, I ended up being shout with everyone together.
It seems that my memorization of my "Hannya-shingyou(般若心経)" sutra was not established yet.
1619
I returned to the hotel.
At the hotel, in the hall, everyone gathered.
Everyone except myself was walking-pilgrimage people.
Only me,It was bicycle-pilgrimage people.
I understand what kind of hardships people in the pedestrian are having trouble, so I was able to join the story.
It was fun dinner.
The couple's foreigners had a pilgrimage.
Is it difficult for bicycle pilgrims to make friends?
Compared to the pedestrian path, the bicycle pilgrim runs alone, so it is difficult to make friends. It is said that.
That is, when walking, you can walk with them while talking, but you can not run on a bicycle with talking.
Furthermore, because the pace at which they run each other is different, it is impossible to run in rows and so on.It is said.
But, it is not that walking people are always walking together.
Even people who stayed at the same inn and became lively over topic of pilgrimage stories at dinner time and breakfast time,when they leave the next morning they will leave out one by one. (Apart from friends and couples who walked by two from the beginning).
