We left Temple #12 and headed for #23. At one point we turned a corner and came face to face with a giant tree.
The posts on the fence that surrounds the tree are about waist high, so you can see that the tree is really large. It is not the largest tree that I have seen in Japan but it is very near the top of the list.
A bit further on we found another fence. This one was along the side of the road and it was made from old railroad rails.
The railroad rail fence was quite appropriate because it funneled cars and people into a tunnel that went under the railroad line.
Once through the tunnel, we found ourselves in the middle of a real town - the first since we had left Onsen town at the end of the train line. To get to Temple #13 we would have to cross through the center of town and enter a park on the other side.
