Reaching Hachimangu

 I reached a main road and, according to my map, my primary goal for this walk, the Hachimangu, a Shinto shrine, would be found somewhere at the top of this tree covered hill.

 After recrossing the road and walking about 500 meters, I came to the entrance to the shrine. I have never seen one like this where the entrance goes through a hole in a long retaining wall.

I climbed the stairs and found my self on a long, narrow dirt path.
