Since MM-san left the guesthouse before me and because I forgot my staff when I departed and wasted about an hour recovering it, I didn’t catch him up till #25 Shinshouji.
I was able to meet a couple again who I previously met in the restaurant near Shishikui.
They live near Muroto City’s Yasaka Shrine, and there’s a festival from 12 today, but unfortunately I already reserved my inn today and didn’t have the time to stay to see it.
I talked with them for a bit in their house, ate some Sekihan* & Sashimi*2 then had to depart again.

*Sekihan = Red Rice (Extra glutinous Rice cooked with azuki beans) eaten on auspicious occasions
*2 Sashimi = Cuts of raw fish eaten with soy sauce, wasabi and rice

(A very small portion of) the stairs up to Hotsumisakiji
Muroto City, 24th temple – Hotsumisakiji
Alighting from the temple on the roadway, I enjoyed the above view of Muroto City.
Muroto City, 25th temple – Sinshouji. Reunited with MM-san.
Muroto City, 26th temple – Kongouchouji
I stayed the night here – within a sort of Ryokan belonging to the temple.
The hall as you enter the hotel & my room – it’s hard to tell from the pictures but it’s very spacey (for 2 people)
The things needed to make myself tea were placed on the table and dinner was Sashimi and Tataki (a lightly broiled katsuo tuna dish) plus the usual elements to a Japanese meal.
