Mizuno ryokan brought us to JR Naruto station with their car(free), and we got a train to Ikenotani and transfered of next train to Ban..."do. It was not so far from Naruo station. At near the station,we could meet some volunteers who gave us some sweets and tea. They helped and supported for 88temples pilgrimage, we herad. And all Shikoku area has been doing it from old times. My German firend was filled with admiration about it. Ryoza-ji was built in 729~748, but some parts of temple were destroyed twice by fire.

It was getting dark after getting out Ryozen Ji and it was hot and started ..."to rain, I was wondering where I could find a reasonable priced place for the night, I noticed a flyer on the wall, a few hundred yards away from Ryozen Ji, it pointed to Oshikoku Guesthouse.

Mizuno ryokan gave us driving to JR Naruto station by their own car without a fee. About 20 minutes from JR Naruto, we ariived at Uzu-no-Michi in English the way of eddy. We paied 500 yen for one person,and entered Uzu-no Michi on the great Naruto bridge 45m from the sea. We could see many kinds of eddy from big windowes of the bridge's floors. My friend was surprised to see them and still now he says it gave him really the strong impression. We couldn't get on the sightseening cruise of the eddy, but if you want to get it, it's easly.It is 2000 yen for one. It's better to make sure the cruise's time tables. Because the best tide tables of the eddy are... " More >
