A tengu suddenly appears along Route 178 heading from Wada in Nagawacho toward Utsukushigahara Highlands.
A tengu mask is enshrined at the Sekison Shrine in the mountains beyond.
It looks like it snowed again this morning, so it may be covered with a bit more snow now.

I visited Wada-juku Main Camp!
It was almost hot outside, but the interior of the main camp felt cool.
There was a quiet, meditative atmosphere that made me want to sit and reflect...
