Got the chance again to while away the time. Went to see the vast mountainland growing Japanese apricot. I have no words but to say it's splendid. All in blooms.

| A long drive to a mountain where Japanese apricot (prunus mume) are all abloom! | 
|  | 
| A splendid place! | 
|  | 
| Putting lipstick (after eating glutinous rice on stick) while catching my breathe after a long trek! | 
|  | 
| no word's enough to praise... | 
|  | 
| strolling... | 
|  |

 And after that, we drove again another few hours to where one of the shrine is located, on the edge of the mountain.

| this' the old Hoaraiji temple up above the newly built one...the place is not suitable to influx of believers due to extreme steep location and impassably precipitous mountain trails...thus a new one was built... |
