On day 12 and 13, I walked another 34.5 miles visiting temple 27 & 28 bringing my total distance up to 226.37 miles. Thursday was spent walking the entire time in the rain, and Friday I walked solo as Philip’s feet needed another break.
I saw this drawbridge from a distance and decided to take a detour to check it out. Never seen anything like this one.

Just a random persons yard as I was walking by. It’s crazy how often you will see this in Japan.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen what looks like a utility provided gas meters, being fed by portable propane tanks. I guess when you live in a warmer climate, this makes more sense

This hotel I walked by seemed a bit odd. There is a board, you can select the design of the room with many different themes, select the duration ranging from a couple hours, to a full day, and pay with your credit card. There is no interaction with another human in this process, other than the one your getting the room with of course.


I really wanted to stick around to see what the plan was for this repair work.

A lot of the miles I’ve covered lately has followed a really nice walking/biking path. I didn’t see anyone or anything on it other than nature, but it was lovely to say the least.

These Japanese pine trees are marked and labeled. From my research, they are harvesting the sap from these trees.


There are hundreds of structures similar to this if you’re anywhere near the coast. It’s unbelievable how much preparation is put into their tsunami evacuation system. These are nothing but an elevated platform to get above a potential flood zone

A lot of fishing in this area.


Not sure this was the best idea for a gas station. It’s different though

Gardens around Temple 27



Everything you see here is all I have in my pack. I even have an extra pair of shoes in that grey bag which aren’t even mine.

Just enjoying a traditional Japanese breakfast to start my day.
