Hey D and C. Imagine a tunnel from your home to my home. Tomorrow I travel in an even longer one (33 miles) from islands Honshu to Hokkaido.

Friday: “Mountains. Near Tokyo. Day 2.” C, D: this train climbed a mountain (Mt Mitake). Wish you rode it with me.

Gorgeous mountain hiking 70 miles/100 minutes from downtown Tokyo. You *can* escape the huge city for the weekend.

Hi D, Hi C. Post cards for you from Seibu-Chichibu, just west of Tokyo on the island of Honshu, Japan.

Posted how I spent my last day on Shikoku.

Posted Temple Plumbing 2013.

Temple 40 of 88. Hey C and D, we are allowed to ring the bell once. Would you share and ring it together?

Posted Shikoku 88: Some Observations.

Sukomo, fishing town, crenalated harbor goes on and on, gorgeous mountainous backdrop. Home for me tonight.

In the year 911 a turtle with a bell on its back visited this temple (39 of 88). I walked from this temple to Sukomo.

Spending night in Sukumo, fishing town, gorgeous setting.

Today and tonight, in Ashizurimisaki. Near temple 38. High on cliffs overlooking Pacific. About as far as I can go.

There’s many deities at temple #38 (of 88): here’s a few.

Today the train “corkscrewed” down, inside a mountain. Without the map you wouldn’t know.

Temple #37 of 88 on the “Shikoku 88” pilgrimage. “Keep your eyes always set on the way.”
