Day 19: Seiyo City to Ōzu

Cold  morning but hot by afternoon. One of those hot, not a cloud in the sky kind of days. I have no idea how far we ended up walking but we didn't get to our lodging until 5:30.

An interesting ad I see in every Toyota dealership window. The glare makes it a little hard to read but... I wonder how they think this sells their cars?

Bangai 8, where the Daishi had to sleep under a bridge for the night. This isn't the bangai temple, but the statue of the sleeping Daishi under the bridge. Which I'm certain was here in this same spot when the Daishi was alive.

A great view from the climb to another mountain pass.

What a temple looks like after it is abandoned and left to rot.
