TNT Day 48 - city lights for the night
9 nov
map 33: (tent) ohara observation park -> ebumi temple -> Kurama -> Kibuneguchi -> Ninose -> Hinode-inari shrine (tent)
clear sunny
so setting my tent up next to the only cigerette ashtray bollard/post in the park may not have been the smartest place for an undisturbed night. at 9:30pm some locals got together for a smoke and a chat, luckily they didnt stay more than an hour out in the cold (autumn is definatley here now) - allowing me to still get my beauty sleep in.
I walked less than 1km along the kyoto prefectural route 61, a reasonably busy road that heads north from kyoto through the kita ward, but managed to see 2 different cars just parked on the side of the road. one of them didnt appear to have anyone inside, while the other had a ?highschool girl practicing the flute inside - it was all a bit strange as there didnt seem to be any tracks or roads to go to from the road.
route 61 was the last of the more rural areas for the day and walking it would bring me into the urban suburbs of kita ward, knowing this i had ear marked a couple of potential camp spots for tonight to check out as i walked on by. there were a couple of parks which had potential but were also very much in view of surrounding houses. after a slight detour i found Hinode-inari shrine which was around the back of a primary school,
up a side street,
along a gravel track
and then up some stairs.
The view was pretty spectacular and i felt that i was out of the way enough that i would not be a nuisance to the locals.
