Shikoku Henro 2012, Day 4

Nov

We spent the night in a town called Imabari, woke up early the next morning, and headed off to temple number 54. We arrived well before opening time - 8am - but the priest kindly opened early and stamped my father-in-law`s book. Temples 54 - 59 were quite close, and only one was a little up a mountain, so we managed to visit them all before noon. Another reason we could visit them quickly was that, unlike usual, we didn`t get lost along the way. Getting lost is frustrating, but also kind of interesting I think, if you`re not in a hurry to get somewhere.

Anyway, we caught the train about midday & headed back to Ichinomiya. Along the way, the train followed the north coast of Shikoku Island for a while - the view was great. I felt happy & satisfied.

I`m looking forward to returning to Shikoku to complete my `henro`, maybe next year.

Congratulations! It is finished the nice third 'henro' trip during good weather. Where does the dog live? What name is it? Anyway, I'm looking forward to reporting the last your Shikoku 'henro'.
