Our final day on the trail. We both took an early morning hot spring soak and enjoyed breakfast before we bid adieu to our inn.

Cooler today, better for hiking. Probably the most beautiful walk yet, over the torii pass.

We took a moment to admire the baby-bearing horse chestnut tree.

After only a few hours of hiking we arrived at the charming village of Narai.

A leisurely lunch of udon noodles, some souvenir shopping, a quiet evening meal.
