Still walking

 The fence on the right is the same one that was in the second of yesterday's pictures. On the extreme right you can just see a children's slide. Many Shinto shrines have a playground on the grounds. If they don't, children still come to them to play. There are few open spaces and shrines, because most of them are very old, have a relative large amount of space remaining around them.

After passing the shrine, I turned and started back on the road that would eventually lead north to the back of the building where I was going to play Go. As you can see, the road was very narrow with a lot of twists and turns. This is a two way road, by the way. If two cars meet, one must back up or pull into someone's yard. Luckily, people in Japan are very polite and not likely to have road rage.
