It was fine and cloudy.

I got up early and had a square breakfast and checked out around 7:30.

I could not find the bus stop at first, but managed to get on the 7:51 bus and visited Tsubaki ogamiyashiro after a long time. I had sweets and green tea. It was yen 800 before but yen 1000 now

I took 10:30 bus and go back to Yokkaichi and took a train to Shiroko. I visited Ejima wakamiya hachimangu shrine and Ryugenji temple.

I went back to Shiroko and took a train to Hisai and a bus and visited Karasu jinja.

I went to Matsuzaka and visited the castle ruins.

I had very healthy dinner.

I took trains to Futaminoura and walked to the hotel.

Unfortunately private bath was booked and I had to wait until 1 AM.

It was fine.

After a national holiday and a remote work day, there were many paper works waiting.

On my way home I went shopping for souvenirs for cousins I will see tomorrow.

At night I watched a Japanese movie on TV. 

Around 10:10PM I left home and walked to the station and got on a train at 10:46PM for Yokohama. 

Kawazu zakura is full in bloom at the station.

Happy St.Valentines Day!!

I arrived at Nagoya around 6:15AM.

I visited Atsuta jingu shrine first. It's been two since I visited there last. It's too early to take a walk at Kokoro no komichi.

I went back to Nagoya to get together with my cousin and headed for Gifu and got together with another cousin and three of us climbed Mt. Kinkazan where there is a castle remain. We enjoyed the view.

After that we visited one of the three greatest staues of Kannon.

We got together with cousin's daughter and had cake sets which was delicious.

We visited Kogane jinja shrine.

We had square dinner.

Two of us were together up to Nagoya and I headed for Yokkaichi.

I tried to find a bus stop for tomorrow, but I could not.

So I went to the hotel.
