statue in order to find their next clue. This leg's Detour was a choice between Prayer of Purity or Frog of Luck. In Prayer of Purity, teams had to don keikogis and travel to the nearby woods, where they took part in a Shinto cleansing ritual. First, they had to perform a prayer that consisted of a chant, lighting incense, and then shouting while thrusting a bamboo stick out in front of them. Afterward, they had to stand under the Yuhi Falls and endure being drenched in water for one minute before receiving their next clue. In Frog of Luck, teams had to strip down to their underwear and put on fundoshi before walking to a mud pit, where they had to search for a toy frog in the mud while having mud thrown at them by locals. Once teams found a frog, they had to present it to the nearby master for their next clue. Teams had to check in at the pit stop: the Commodore Perry Monument in Yokosuka. Additional notes Mel & Mike were treated for hypothermia while trying to complete the Detour. They were unable to complete the task and instead went directly to the pit stop for elimination.
