Day 12, August 14
The day was mostly flat, with only two climbs during the day. With the large number of temples to visit in Ehime, you get into a routine of visiting the Hondō (main temple) and Daishidō (temple to Kobo Daishi), lighting your candles & incense and then getting your book signed. The temples kind of pass in a haze, so it is good to have the camera with me.

| Nankōbō, relatively new temple in traditional style |
 |
| Kokubunji, very modern-style temple |
The last difficult one was up to temple number 60, Yokomineji to an elevation of 800 meters. Luckily, there was a bus to take me up 600 of those...
 |
| #60, Yokomineji, is at the top of those mountains... |
 |
| But this bus can take me there! |
Afterwards I finished through temple #63, Kisshōji and found a cheap ryokan with a hot spring to spend the night.
