Welcome

For those reading who don't know me, or have forgotten my name, I am Neil Gordon and I intend to keep this blog up to date with my travel activities in Japan - taking place from mid July 2010 till some time in January 2011.
I'm English and am interested in the Japanese culture and language, as well as computers and technology.
The blog name neiltanken is simply my name + 探検 (tanken) - which means expedition.

Henro Day 25

Today I went to #39, then #40 and stayed the night in #40’s tsuyadou* with 2 other walkers.

*Tsuyadou is a free wake. In this case a small Japanese style room with blankets provided.

Some cows approached me, so I said hi and took a picture.

Short break

The old path here had concrete, gravel and earth parts so was kind of strange.

Took another short break at this pretty henro rest stop.

The tsuyadou in Kanjizaiji

There were 3 of us staying the night and I don’t think any more would fit.
It was a little cold, but I managed to sleep without catching a cold.
