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!

How happy I was to see blue skies!

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.

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.

The first sight we visited the next day was
花の窟（はなのいわや）神社. in Kumano.
According to 日本書紀 it is the oldest shrine in Japan.
I was overwhelmed by the sacred rock.
We had lunch at a restaurant called 熊野倶楽部.
After lunch it began to rain but we went to 瀞峡（どろきょう）,
which is a canyon with a river running through Wakayama,
Mie and Nara.
It was raining and I did not expect too much of boarding
瀞峡ウオータージェット船.
But as the boat went on, I was excited with joy at high, steep
or huge rocks. Amazing!
Before going to Kushimoto, we visited 潮岬,
which is the southernmost part of Honshu.
(on the way from my bus window)
Here I am!
I was so tired that I had little appetite.
