We took a local bus to temple number 13 - Dainichiji - (pilgrim photo) and then walked to the three following temples, a distance of about 5 miles. Each temple had a nearby Shinto shrine - Dainichiji had a large shrine across the street with two torii gates.

The photo (left) with the large tree is temple 14 - Jorakuji, which was just past a lake and up a hill.
The photo (centre) with the weathered grey temple and "dry garden" is #15, Kokubunji. We ate our lunch looking at this view.
The photo (right) with Sean ringing the gong is #16, Kanonji.

For dinner tonight we went to a restaurant and ate lots of sashimi (raw tuna, salmon and red snapper), plus a tomato and mozzarella salad (the balsamic vinegar looked green but tasted right), crab fried rice and gyozo. Yum!
