Day 5 : 11 April 2009
Following the picturesque Akuigawa River, we arrived at Temple 13 Dainichiji (Temple of the Great Sun).
A shrine on the way.
The next 4 Temples were all close together on the outskirts of Tokushima.
Temple 14 Jorakuji (Temple of Everlasting Peace)
Temple 15 Kokubunji (The Official State Temple)
 
Temple 16 Kanonji (Avalokitesvera Temple)Â
Temple 17 Idoji (Well Temple)
 
We decided on a hotel in Tokushima city for a hot bath, a cold beer and to wash our clothes.
Sakuraso is a minshuku near the railway station with lovely Japanese tatami rooms and a kind lady who washed our dirty clothes for us.
After a feed of Awa Adori Chicken, we moved on to the restaurant next door and had a big bowl of Tokushima Ramen (one of our favourites). We encountered 2 female henro we had met earlier at the first restaurant and another young henro at the second. It was like greeting old friends.
