Distance: 26 km (total up to now: 48 km); time on the road; 9:30 h; altitude 250 m, sunny at 32 degrees Celsius; some valley breezes provided occasionally some relief.
That was the most exhausting hiking day I experienced in the last 5 years. And the reason was just the sun and the heat. I am totally exhausted and almost unable to write some meaningful news. Also I need to prepare for tomorrows hike, where the altitude of more than 1000 m will be the challenge.
Breakfast at Anrakuji (T6): foreigners who are traveling alone are placed together at one table.

While I was and will stay overnight in ryokans, there are also simple „houses“ on the trail for people with little money to stay over night free of charge.
