As usual we were in a Japanese style room with
tatami mats on the floor. Ian and I always put our packs and equipment on opposite sides of the room so that we would not mix up our things. After breakfast each morning, we taped our feet, put on our clothes for the day, and packed out bags. Then after a last check of the room to see if we had forgotten anything we were out the door and on our way.
On other thing we did each morning before leaving was check on our route for the day, including such things as where we could get lunch (convenience store, restaurant, or what?), and whether or not we needed to shop or to find a post office so we could get money from our postal savings accounts.
On the road again. I had spent the night in the white building, behind the left hand windows on the top floor.
After about a half hour we entered a flat open area and right in the middle was a large building. When we reached it, we discovered that there was a hairdresser's on the first floor with apartments above. The sign on the side of the building, advertising the beauty shop, was so well phrased that I just had to take a picture of it. After taking the picture, I stood looking at it, wondering what Kobo Daishi would have thought. Actually since were were walking with Kobo Daishi, I should say I wondered what he was thinking.
