Day 19 - The last day of walking

The view out the window of my hotel room gave me a good look at the Kochi train station.
Outside the train station there was also a trolley stop. The end of the line, I think. Since our hotel was so near the station we did not need to use any of the local transportation - only the train to Gomen Station.
We took a taxi from Gomen back to Temple #29 and the started along the Henro Trail again. We soon discovered this delightful Shinto shrine, but as usual we could not explore because of the time restrictions.
We walked along the flat valley floor toward Kochi Station, although it was still a long way away. Some of the rice paddies were already planted and some, like the one below, were still being prepared.
There were some wooded areas along the way and this combination of bamboo and cherry blossoms was particularly pretty.
