March 5, 2018. Today just as I was to leave temple six it started to rain. I got all my rain gear on and headed out 20 minutes later.
Jūrakuji (十楽寺) It rained all the way to this temple. I kept looking for some place to eat but never found anything.
Kumataniji (熊谷寺) Still raining and no food.
Hōrinji (法輪寺) As I came towards this temple there was a small store. The owner was getting his vegetables ready and offered me two sweet potatoes and tea as osettai. They were wonderful. I met a Japanese couple who live in Seattle. They said the store outside of the temple gate sold Udon. I stopped after visiting the temple and had breakfast/lunch.
Kirihataji (切幡寺) I got osettai again. This time it was tea, crackers, and a place to store my backpack while I trudge up the 333 steps to the temple.
I walked 16.4 miles, climbed 859 feet, and saw five temples. I made it to the Henro hut and had a great time at the onsen next door. But, I was too exhausted to go out to dinner with Peter. This was a big mistake.
