Day 5 - the morning

This is the view that greeted my when I first when out doors after getting another good night's sleep - about 9 hours.
This is the front door to the rooms where we stayed. The rooms were straight ahead, baths, toilets, etc, were off to the right.
This slice of tree trunk was decorating the entrance hall. The Japanese love this sort of thing and like to place them near the door of a more or less public place - like the entrance to a hotel.
As we were leaving, I looked back and took this picture of the building we stayed in. I should point out that the road did not last very long.
We started down the mountain and toward Temple #13, which we had visited a few days previously. In the area near the temple there were some houses but these disappear within a few hundred meters, and we were back on the mountain trail. This time it was all down hill and in many ways a harder walk than the climb on the previous day. At least the weather had cleared up
