Sunday 13/01/19 to Yakushima

Woke up about 10 to 8 to have breakfast at 8am. It was the same breakfast as yesterday except the bonus tomato.

Went back to futon after breakfast and had a nap until the checkout time. We said goodbye to the couple and the dogs and walked to the local temple.

Our accommodation was just behind the temple but it was hard to get there. We appreciated even more that we had a police escorts to the accommodation. There was no way we had found the way so easily otherwise. The map we got from the internet was so wrong..

Arriving in Yakushima on the hydrofoil ferry, we got picked up from the port by our next host. He was super nice. 

The annual around the island run (100km!) was in progress, and many of the runners had dressed up for the occasion, so it was a bit like a mega marathon cosplay event.

Watching Mononoke Hime in the place that inspired the artists who made it.
