Today we walked to Kokawadera.
All meticulously clean. That lady is pulling little weeds from the gravel!
Kokawadera is a very large temple complex. All buildings and gardens are in perfect condition and there are little shops, restaurants and they actually open! A bit different then expected.
Walking a bit further towards the back of the Hondo, I was surprised to see and abandoned temple building. It was a bit eerie.
We walked back from the temple, back to Rico’s and had dinner. Okonomiyaki. It was delicious!
There was still time…we decided to have a dip in a very famous onsen. Natural hot spring water, brown and bubbly. The water had such a high mineral content that it felt like bathing in a stalactite cave!
They need pneumatic drills to remove the build up.
Back at Rico’s I decided to change schedule for tomorrow. My 10 year old boots are suddenly too small. It truly left me heartbroken. I will have to go to Aeon Mall in nowhere to try my luck finding new shoes.
Good night.
