Since the kids had to go back to school before the hub went back to work, we had another day to ourselves. We decided to go to Mt. Shosha in Himeji. The kids had balked at going before anyway, so we decided to do it without them. 2 trains, a bus and a ropeway ride later (approximately 2 hrs. total) we arrived at Mt Shosha. I chose a walking stick and we began the steep climb. It is rumoured that all who climb this mountain will be purified in both body and spirit. We're not sure if that includes coming half way up in a cable car! Some of the movie, 'The Last Samurai' was filmed in/around the Engyoji Temple at the top of the mountain. It was beautiful. The photos don't do it justice.
