My Tenri trip in Japan
Yamanobe-no Michi: Japan's Oldest Road!-Pt 1
A few days ago, together with my hiking buddy's Barry and Motokazu san we set out on another part of the Yamanobe-no-michi trail. This time are starting point was Nara city.The weather was nice, not too hot and humid. The rainy season is about to start and we want to complete the whole trail. The hike conssts of 3 parts, from Nara to Obitoke (JR station), from Obitoke to Tenri and the last part from tern to Miwa station. The last temple on the route is Byodo-in temple.
The first stop was Fukuu-in ji temple and on to Shin-yakushi-ji temple. The Shin-yakushi-ji Temple was built in the 19th year of the Tempyo era (747) by the Imperial order of the Empress Komyo for the purpose of praying to Buddha for the Emperor Shomu's recovery from his eye disease. The meaning of Shin found in the temple name, which is pronounced as 'atara' or 'arata' in Japanese, seems not to be 'new' (atara-shi) but 'wonder-working' (arata-ka). The on to Byakugô-ji Temple, situated on Mount Takamado. To reach the temple there are a fair amount of steps, worthwhile though as it is an oasis of beauty and silence. From the temple grounds you can enjoy a panoramic view of Nara and its landmarks (the pagoda of Tofukuji), Mount Ikoma and many other historic sites.
The trail sometimes leads along secondary roads, bamboo forest, through rice paddy's and fields. It took us a small 5 hours to reach our end point, including time to take pictures, eat our lunch and have a refreshing nama beer at the end of our adventure. There are no high hills to cross and it can be an enjoyable hike for anyone who likes to get a glimpse of the country side and see some local shrines and temples.
Some of the other points of interest you'll encounter along the way are the Yasaka jinja, related to the Yasaka jinja in Kyoto, wind chimes in the bamboo forest and the Mino Tateyama Fudomyodo-in, a small shrine in the bamboo forest.
There is also the Shirayama jingo, it has a long history dating back to 1709 and is a cultural property.Then there is Shimada jinja, dating back to the same time period as Shirayama jingo.
Next you'll see the burial mount of Emperor Sudo-tenno Yashima Ryo. The trail then leads through a bamboo forest and there is a burial site for persons who, upon passing away, had no relatives. Continuing on you come to the Ensho-ji Monastery, situated deep in the bamboo forest. It is very quiet and scenic and boast of beautiful gardens. It's a pity that you cannot enter though. The famous Yamamura school tea ceremony school has it's headquarters here. From there through a narrow path is the Kobo Daishi memorial shrine and there are a few more small Shinto shrines before reaching the road that will lead you to Obitoke JR station.
If you enjoy a nama beer or want to have a bite to eat there is a nice place close to your end point called Samasama, the lady of the house likes Ragae music.
It was a very enjoyable day, a highly recommended excursion, if you like some more info, drop me a line and I'll be happy to assist you!
Walking The Yamanobe-no-michi Trail in Japan
Subway, train from Kyoto through Osaka, local train to Tenri followed by a long walk through a mall to the Yamanobe-no-michi trailhead. By this time (11:15a), I was almost to tired to even think of walking 10 miles.
This particular trail is considered to be the oldest in Japan and the trailhead began close to the main temples of the Tenrikyo Sect, flying their purple flags in anticipation of a big festival tomorrow.
On a very well-marked trail that even idiot, me, could easily follow on my own, through small towns, fields and burial mounds. Lunch at the halfway point in a small restaurant near the visitor's center that served either rice or soba noodles, each prepared in at least six different ways. Do you have any idea how long it took Yumiko to translate the choices (written in Japanese) for 10 people? And then for each person to decide what they wanted? Yes...forever!

The Yamanobe no michi Trail, The Oldest Trail in Japan
Lunch was finally served in the small restaurant next to the Visitor's Center and the group set out again. The 10-mile trail ended at at Ohmiwa Jinja Shrine, the oldest along the trail with time out to shake fortune sticks. We would still be standing there if poor Yumiko had to read every fortune.
By now, it was a little past 4:00p and we ran to make the first train back to Kyoto. Got off after three stops, got on another train, got off after six stops, before one last train that ended in stunning Kyoto Station and took time to look at the outstanding views from the top (watch the previously uploaded Kyoto Station video).
The group now had bragging rights for hiking Japan's oldest trail.
