Day 11, August 13
After two mountain temples in the morning, it was back down to sea level and the temples near Matsuyama in Ehime. Nice change from the mountains, although it is a lot more hot and humid in the flatlands.

Most hotels and ryokan were booked due to the Obon weekend holiday, but I did find a small place to stay down by the port in a suburb of Matsuyama. Took an evening walk along the water and watched the kids fishing from the port before dinner and bed.
