I hadn’t planned it, but I ended up doing a little sightseeing.
I left Uwa Town an headed for Tosaka ridge.
Tosaka ridge – the climb and the view
the decent
After descending and walking a little, I ate some deep fried octopus and an “American dog” at a takoyaki restaurant.
When I reached Oozu City, there was a festival procession passing by chance.
I don’t know exactly what the festival is about, but let’s leave investigation till later.
I found an Ichiroku cake store in Oozu City, so I tried the “Ichiroku Tart” which they are famous for. Wasn’t very exciting!
When I got to Uchiko City, I still had free time, so I checked out the Uchikoza kabuki theatre. They even allow visitors to go under the stage (this area is called ‘naraku’ which means hell basically). The circular area of the stage can be rotated from underneath.
The free henro inn which I stopped at.
I think this inn would be better described as a hut. It got pretty cold as nigh set on, but I buried myself under several blankets so I survived.
Even so, because my face was uncovered I woke up from the cold at about 4am, turned on my torch and departed.
