Today I left hotel before 8:00 AM. And left Obanazawa before 10:00 AM.
On the gradual climibng road to Yamadera, I found my legs didn't move (pedal)
well. I am so tired in this tour... I felt sad, but had nothing to do for
that. So the steps to the top of Yamadera was very hard. I easily decided
to stay at Yamagata today. Yamadera was not the place I had expected. I
thought I understand why basho stayed there only one day. Then why the
great masterpiece verse created? I could not solve the mistery.
