Original Narrative: The Valley on the Way to Kanazawa : We continue our journey by a hollow road, shaded by magnificent firs. After having crossed a gorge, the path widens down to the shores of an inland bay, full of scattered islets, and surrounded by low hills. In front of us is the town of Kanazawa. Kanazawa is the general name for a cluster of 13 villages, of which Suzaki is one. The little Shin-to temple called Seto no jin-ja, just beyond the inn, is dedicated to the gods of the great temple at Mishima on the To-kai-do. It is said to have been founded by Yoritomo. A little further on 1. is a small Buddhist temple which commands a celebrated view of the Mutsura Inlet. Kuruma may be engaged as far as Kamakura for 25 sen, but there is one ascent at the boundary of the provinces of Musashi and Sagami, where it is necessary to get out and walk. Two cuttings, together called Asaina no Kiri-doshi, have been made through the hills." Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
