Day 5 – Where pilgrims fall over backwards – Henro korogashi – Shosan-ji

Today I am facing my first big challenge. The route leads me past a mountain peak of 800m to Shosan-ji at 700m. After that I descend a short distance to ryokan Nabeiwa-so for my night’s stay. In total: a hike of 21.4 km.

Day 4 – Walking and bathing at an onsen

I am walking in the area of Tukoshima. My route leads me from temple eight to temple eleven. On the way I cross the Yoshino River. I planned my stay in a hut next to a bath house, an onsen.
