Day 415: in the forest
... complex, up and down some paths, past a love stone and shrines, through a gate, past a cemetary with little figures dressed with colourful ties and finally down a typical japanese street. Typically Japanese set up for tourists with shop next to shop. Inspiring, but I turn into a side street, find a temple and buy what I thought was cotton candy in a cup. It turned out to be shaved ice with I think cherry sirup... Even better and an adequate refreshment in the humid heat of Japan's ...
The floods are coming!

Cars approaching a major road or wishing to turn into the minor one will always stop and look for a passing cycle-deity before continuing with their maneuvre.
