We're now in a bed & breakfast in the small village Sambommatsu. This is a bit of a resting point in the countryside.
In order to ensure a room in Nirvana with a view on hell, we visited the temple complex in Murouji, a nearby village. A lot of the statues date from the 9th century and are extremely well preserved. Alas no pictures were allowed of these statues, so you'll have to pay a visit yourself in order to admire them.

In our zealous effort to get to the highest temple, we had to climb some stairs:
And then some more stairs...
More stairs...
Catching our breath before taking some...stairs!
We love stairs...
And crossing bridges which lead to...
More stairs!
Stairs it is
Now check out this ancient temple, wasn't it worth all these stairs?
I'm out of breath now. More news in a next post.
