Going home

 Up the hill behind the shrine there was what looked like the beginning of a fairly large bamboo grove.

 I left the shrine area and started walking in the general direction of home. Soon I surprisingly ran into a Baptist church. Big cities have quite a few small churches, but I have not seen many in Nakagawa-machi or Kasuga city, the two areas where I have been doing all my walking.

I was passing through an area with a lot of small farms, when I notice this orange-ish building. There was a canal between my road and the building so I did not go over to see what it was. It looked like it might be some kind of public building, meeting rooms for a neighborhood association of some sort.
