Day 2

Started the morning with prayer in the Main Hall at 6:30am. Had breakfast at 7:00 am and was out the door by 8:00am.

I made a special wish at Temple 9 (Horinji) as it is the temple known for curing leg ailments. I also got a good luck charm from that temple as well.

Today was a longer walk than yesterday and it especially felt long between Temple 10 (Kirihatachi) and Temple 11 (Fujidera). It was 9.6 km between the two temples. In total I walked 20.2 km today. However, I’m not as exhausted as yesterday. Although my feet are tired. 😉

Tonight I am staying in a small low cost “Ryokan” although there is nothing Japanese about this place except the family style bath and heated toilet seat. Can’t complain. For ¥3,800 it’s a bargain.

Meals are not included, so combini (convenience store) dinner of onigiri (rice balls) and green tea for me.
