Day 10

Weather: Sunny !!!!

Went to Temple 28 (Dainichiji) first thing in the morning, and bumped into the German woman from the day before. I didn’t see her again for the rest of the day. It might be because she used Google maps instead of the henro signs posted on the road along the way.

I found that following the henro signs sometimes adds an extra half hour or more to the walk. So from Temple 29 (Kokubunji) to Temple 30 (Zenrakuji) I followed the signs for a bit then took a shorter route, which was also marked but not as well.

From Temple 30 I walked to Tosa-Ikku Station. I then took the train to Kochi, where I will be spending the next two nights in order to do some sightseeing.

Not sure why so many of the temples are on a hill/ mountain? Luckily, today only one was slightly higher (only 2 flights of stairs and NO hairpin bends with ridiculous inclines!)
