Interpreting: the 3rd Henro Experience for Foreign Residents

| | comments(0) | trackback(0)

On May 16th, I participated in the 3rd Henro Experience for Foreign Residents, where we walked about 15 kilometers between Nagaoji and Okuboji.  At our departure point, Nagao Temple, a monk from the temple taught us about the history of Nagaoji, including the fact that on the temple's main hall can still be found the family crest of the Matsudaira Clan - the feudal lords of Takamatsu who used to give patronage to the temple.  I translated this conversation for the benefit of the other participants.  This was physically the most difficult Henro Experience thus far, but we reached the peak of Nyotai Mountain, just before Okuboji, we could all deeply appreciate the beauty of Sanuki as we looked out onto the scenery below us.
