The day before I got to Temple 39, Enkoji, I came back up from the coast partly by bus. It was sort of the same route as going down but coming back up. Then, you get off in the middle of nowhere to most people and start walking. Some people on the bus seemed to be thinking I was making a mistake as I got off and it caused some confusion at first.
However, that’s where I started walking again and I have been walking ever since.
Being out in a farming area Temple 23, Enkoji, is one of the quieter temples. However, it is still very lovely and quietly charming. A pretty good place to start a day.
