to southern Kishu (4-2)

Here we are in 高野山！
A special guide showed us around 高野山・奥の院.

There were many tombs of famous samurai and many memorials
of famous people or companies.















It began to rain a little when we went to 高野山・金剛峯寺.
This was the last sight we visited.









We took the Hikari Super Express for Tokyo late in the evening.
We reached Tokyo Station too late at night and I stayed overnight
at M-san's house.

Thank you so much, M-san.
I had a very good time with you!

to southern Kishu (4-1)

How happy I was to see blue skies!

Our sightseeing bus was running up along the longest
mountain highway in Japan, 龍神スカイライン
for 高野山, which is located at the height of 900 meters.

to southern Kishu (3-4)

熊野三山　consists of these three shrines
熊野那智大社・熊野速玉大社 and 熊野本宮大社.

We paid homage at these three shrines.

There are many trails called 熊野古道.

Next time I visit 熊野, I'd like to walk a rough path through
the forest.

Before going to the hotel in 白浜, we went to see 三段壁,
well-known place where many people commit suicide.
I felt very sad to hear that.









The hotel we stayed at that night was a very nice hotel.

All people working there gave us a hearty welcome.

Our room overlooked the ocean.

The dinner was delicious.

I had a good sleep.

to southern Kishu (3-3)

We had a late lunch and visited 熊野本宮大社,
which is 熊野神社総本宮.







The shrine is now under repair.

to southern Kishu (3-2)

Then we walked to　熊野那智大社, which is called
one of 熊野三山.



Then to 青岸渡寺（せいがんとじ）near　熊野那智大社.　





We got on our sightseeing bus to go to 熊野速玉大社,
which is also one of熊野三山.
