Today, I explored part of the plain that bisects Sado Island (an island in the Sea of Japan, off northern Honshu, Japan). Walking on level ground gave my knees a rest after walking up a mountain the previous day.
Beyond wanting to be in the countryside, I didn’t have a specific plan. If a side-road looked interesting, I took it.

I visited three temples on my walk, including one that is much more “famous” than this one:
Myosen-ji Temple
But this one was my place: it’s less shiny than the others, or maybe it’s because it was just me and the temple, no other takers.
Myosen-ji has been in its present location since 1589.
A temple in the countryside, at the end of a narrow lane, surrounded by rice fields, on a little island in the Sea of Japan.
