区切り打ち歩き遍路 第14日目 安芸球場ー大日寺 第15日目 大日寺ー竹林
The 14th and 15th day of the Partially Walking Pilgrimage. No.28 Dainichiji-temple to No.31 Chikurinji-temple
区切り打ち歩き遍路も、14日目を迎えました。 2月15日は安芸球場を出発して大日寺までの約25kmを歩きました。 空は快晴ですが、四国山脈を越えて吹き降ろす北風はとても冷たく、歩き始めると体は暑いのに手は悴んでしまいます。 今日は車の流れから外れて、真っ青な太平洋を見ながら浜辺の遊歩道を歩きます。 お昼の休憩には食事後に波と遊んだり、砂浜を歩いたり、真ん丸な小石を拾ったりと遠足のような歩きを楽しみました。 道の駅・夜須からは海辺を離れて北北西に風に逆らって歩きましたが、砂ほこりやら花粉やらで目はショボショボ😢 何とか「民宿きらく」さんにたどり着き、デポさせていただいた車から納経帳などお参り用具を取り出して28番大日寺に納経してから「民宿・きらく」に投宿。 「民宿・きらく」さんでは、食べきれないほどの夕食と、気さくなおかみさんのピアノと歌声のお接待を満喫しました。 おふろでのんびりと体を温め、満腹のお腹のために消化剤を飲んで心地よい眠りに引き込まれました。 翌日16日は、盛りだくさんのワンプレート ブレックファーストを頂いた後、午前8時に出発。 今日もお空は雲一つない青空。北風も少しだけ！ のどかな田園地帯を通って２９番 国分寺→３０番 善楽寺を打った後はまっすぐに南下して五台山 竹林寺に向かいます。 五台山には民家の脇を通って急登を登ります。 牧野植物園の脇を通り、そしてお遍路さん特権で植物園の中を通り、いろんな花を観賞出来ました。 今回の歩行距離は約４８km、ちょっと風は冷たかったけど青空の下での歩き遍路を楽しみました。
The 14th day of the Partially Walking Pilgrimage has arrived.
On February 15th, we left Aki Stadium and walked about 25km to Dainichiji Temple.
The sky is clear, but the north wind that blows down over the Shikoku Mountains is very cold, and when I start walking, my body feels so hot but my hands feel cold.
Today, instead of walking on the road, I walked along the promenade along the beach while looking at the bright blue Pacific Ocean.
During the lunch break, we enjoyed a field trip by playing in the waves, walking on the sand, and picking up perfectly round pebbles.
From the roadside station Yasu, I left the beach and walked north-northwest against the wind, but my eyes were all wet from the dust and pollen😢
I managed to arrive at Minshuku Kiraku and took out my payment book and other prayer supplies from the car where I had deposited them.
After paying the sutra at Dainichiji Temple No. 28, I stayed at Minshuku Kiraku.
At Minshuku Kiraku, we enjoyed a dinner that we couldn't finish and the hospitality of the friendly hostess who played the piano and sang.
I took a relaxing bath to warm up my body, took some digestive medicine to fill my stomach, and fell into a comfortable sleep.
The next day, the 16th, we left at 8am after having a large one-plate breakfast from my girlfriend.
The sky is blue with not a single cloud today. Just a little bit of north wind! After passing through the peaceful countryside and arrived at No. 29 Kokubunji templr → No. 30 Zenrakuji temple, head straight south to Mt. Godaii-san Chikurinji temple.
I passed by the Makino Botanical Garden, and as a pilgrim, I was able to go through the botanical garden and admire all kinds of flowers. The walking distance this time was about 48km, and although the wind was a little cold, I enjoyed the walking pilgrimage under the blue sky.
