Beautiful and mysterious feeling in the post rainstorm wetness. Keep on walking up the road past the 納経所 to get to the 本堂.

Beautiful view looking over the city. I really liked this bench made from locally sourced wood with the shape of Shikoku cut into it.

Lots of cats. An amazing tunnel/cave (¥100 donation plz). Reminds me of the temples I've visited in Myanmar.

I got a candy from an obachan.
After walking up that hill to get here it was quite yummy.
