Day 40 : 16 May 2009
After 3 hours walking we arrived at Temple 52 Taisanji (Big Mountain Temple) in a lofty setting on a hill. The main Temple was built in 1305.
We were soon at Temple 53 Enmyoji (Temple of Circular Illumination), with its pretty buildings of brown timber and contrasting white panelling.
There is a carved statue of Mary, disguised, which was secretly worshipped by Christians.
From the north west coast, we turned inland and camped for the night at Bunka-no-mori Park.
