Getting up with sunrise, going back and hit the 36th Temple before breakfast.
Along the very clean Yokonami Skyline, almost no traffic and no body, it feels endless along the cliff, some how very sentimental feeling, and some point I really wanted listen some music, not much thoughts but grabbed by those weird sad feeling, looking at hazy horizon.
Endless cliff road, shortly came to the end, seeing very flat Uranouchi bay on right side, heading into inland.
I was looking for a place to have a break, then suddenly a cement factory standing behind the small rice field.
Sky was getting grey and darker, I would better get hurry and reach to the accommodation.
Despite the fact, it is called “business hotel”, it is more like an apartment, small yet quite high rise for the footprint, typical of Japan.
It soon started rain, room was strong smell of tobacco, turning air condition was even worse. Out side there are high rise motorway and a pond with concrete wall.
I suddenly felt claustrophobic and miserable. I am not in the middle of big city, is this the curse of the cement factory? and fully plastic packaged Bento as a dinner, made my end of the day very very sad.

ビジネスホテルさつき
24km
日の出起床、朝飯前に36番を打ちに下る。
交通はほとんど無く誰もいない横浪スカイライン、いつまでも続くかのような崖の道、感傷的な気持ち、何か音楽を聴きたい気がした。特にこれといったことを考えてはいなかったがそんな感情にとらわれて、霞みがかった水平線を見ながら歩く。
永遠のような崖の道はあという間に終わり、反対側の平らな浦ノ内湾を横目に、少し山の中へ、休憩できるところを探していると畑のすぐ裏側にセメント工場が立っていた。
空はだんだんと雲行きが怪しくなり休憩なしで早々と次の宿泊所に向かう。
ビジネスホテルとはいうもののアパート。すぐに雨が激しく降り始める、部屋はタバコの臭い、エアコンを入れると余計にひどい。外は高架の高速道路と、コンクリートに囲まれた池。たちまち閉所感、そして哀れな気持ちを感じた。大都会の中でもないのに、セメント工場の呪いか。
プラスチック、ビニールに包まれた弁当の夕食で、とても悲しい一日の終わり。
