Road trip to Senjojiki, Lake Juniko, and the Furofushi Hot Spring (Part 4) / 千畳、十二湖と不老不死温泉の旅 （パート４）

We were headed home from Furofushi Hot Spring, but as we passed through Fukaura again, a large temple caught our eye so we had to investigate. It was the Engakuji Temple.

不老不死温泉の露天風呂を入ったあと、そのまま家に帰るつもりだったが、深浦を通ったら気になるお寺発見。もちろんそこに探索しないと気がすまない。行ってみたのは円覚寺（えんがくじ）。

This was interesting. There is a small museum located close to the temple called the "Kazemachi Kan". We only saw this replica of a ship as the museum was located in another building. It will be something for us to do next summer.

この建物も面白いと思った。お寺の近くに小さな博物館があって、ここは記念写真が出来る場所でした。入ってなかったため、来年の夏に一つ行くところが決定。

The first gate you must go through before reaching the main temple.

この門を通って、本堂に行く。

Monument to Kobo Daishi / 弘法大師

Engakuji Temple Seal / 円覚寺の御朱印

We made one more stop before heading home. This is the Kasose Roadside Station. Also known as the "Grilled Squid Village".

もう一箇所の寄りました。深浦の道の駅「かそせ いか焼き村」。

The following pictures are views of the Sea of Japan.

We managed to see the sunset somewhere along the road on our way home and so ended our day trip.

旅の途中で夕焼けも見えて、これで本日の冒険の幕が閉じた。
