Ashizuri National Park

June 16, 2023

The seasonal rain front was pushed to the south giving us a beautiful day to explore Cape Ashizuri.
We hiked down and back up the ~200 stairs to the granite arch and along several pathways through
the park to other vantage points. Stopped at a couple of temples and the lower pathways of the
botanical garden. After lunch in a nearby town, we navigated more stairs and rocks to a small Shinto
shrine on a bunch of rocks on the west side of the penninsula. Went back to one vantage point to
sketch and take in a few more sights before settling down to dinner...
