Temples 44 & 45

Spent another day in the mountains hiking from Temple 44 (Daihōji) to Temple 45 (Iwayaji). Great hiking weather--sunny and upper fifties. 

Kōbō Daishi greeted us at the top of the first pass.

Then, several hours later we arrived at the temple and were greeted by the main deity, Fudō Myōō.

Tomorrow we climb to Temple 60, Yokomineji.
