Again, I do not remember these specific locations and it would take a lot more work than I have time for to figure out where they are. I believe that this is somewhere one the first day which means that it was probably one of the first seven temples we visited.
I remember walking up to the next main gate, because it was so bright and garish, but again I do not recall the number of the temple. I am pretty sure that it was one we went to on the first day.
We did not see many animals during the pilgrimage. We saw cats a couple of time and this very relaxed dog. When we were in the woods we saw and heard lots of birds, but I am sure that we saw more people than any other kind of animal. Notice the giant straw sandal on the left side of the gate. They will probably have to replace it in a few more years.
This is the entrance to Temple #11. We arrived here in the late afternoon and then immediately left and went back the way we came. We stayed in a hotel for two days while we waited for a room to be free in Temple #12, which is on the top of a 740 foot mountain. The temple lodging is the only place to stay.
This was a few days later. We came over a hill and the temple is below us on the left. We actually first arrived at the back of the temple and had to walk around the outside of the grounds to reach the gate. The flowers on the trees are plum blossoms.
