Rain, sometimes torrential rain.
In 15 minutes, trousers, shoes are completely soaked. Discomfort is the process, but once all completed, it becomes unnoticeable.

At the Settaijyo (service, break place for pilgrims), I was advised not to go traditional pilgrim path in the mountain, there are chance of landslide, which is also written on the map. On modern road there are tunnels, normally I find it horrible to go through with exhaust of cars and winds, also pavements are often very little. On the contrary when it is raining, tunnels are small breaks to go through.

雨時々激しい雨。
15分で靴の中まですっかり濡れる。一度濡れてしまえば気にもならないが、中途半端な時が一番気持ち悪い。

接待所で遍路道ではなく普通の道で行くように勧められる。地図にもそのように書かれていた。
トンネルは普段非常に嫌なところで、入る前に覚悟が必要だ。排気ガスと風圧、歩道はほとんどなかったりもする。しかし雨の時はちょっとした通過する休憩所。
