[Kagawa Prefecture, Chichibugahama] A relaxing place that is emotional without any editing
📍Chichibugahama Beach
203-3 Nio Otsu, Nio-cho, Mitoyo-shi, Kagawa-ken 769-1404
🚗 Parking lot
It seems that 400 general vehicles can be parked for free.
Chichibugahama Beach in Konira, known as the Uyuni Salt Flats of Japan👍
When I went there, it was a little windy, so I couldn't take a mirror-like photo like the Uyuni Salt Flats, but at dusk, you can take nice photos no matter where you cut it (⊃'-'⊂)♥️
A tripod is a must‼️
There are cafes on the beach, so you can relax🙆♀️
I stayed at Kamenoi Hotel Kannonji, about 20 minutes by car from here, and it was good value for money👍A relaxing Japanese-style room♥️The food was so luxurious that I couldn't finish it🍚

◼︎Takamatsu Castle
Located in Tamamo-cho, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, it faces the sea. It is a castle. Takamatsu Castle is known as one of the "Three Great Sea Castles of Japan" along with Imabari Castle in Ehime Prefecture and Nakatsu Castle in Oita Prefecture. Marugame Castle is famous as a castle with the tallest stone wall in Japan. The castle tower enshrined in that stone wall is one of the twelve existing castle towers. The stone walls stacked from the inner moat to the castle tower are called "fan slopes" and have a magnificent curve. #Kagawa #KagawaTourism #SoloTravel #GirlsTrip #CastleTour #DomesticTravel
📍Angel Road - A detailed guide to the best photo spots
📍For those going to Angel Road in Shodoshima✨I will explain the best photo spots❗️☑︎If you want to take a photo of Angel Road from above, go to Promise Hill Observatory✨You can climb the stairs to get there! ☑︎There is a bell at Promise Hill Observatory, which is also a good photo spot📷☑︎Taking a photo while crossing Angel Road gives you a different atmosphere than taking a photo from above✨☑︎The sandy road only appears during low tide, so be sure to check in advance❗️☑︎If you want to take a photo of Angel Road at sunset, the time of low tide and sunset differs depending on the season, so it is best to aim for the time when low tide and 30 minutes before sunset overlap◎ (30 minutes before sunset is the best time to take a beautiful sunset) Use this as a reference and go to Angel Road✨

Yadon x Kagawa Stamp Rally Completed ㊗️🎉
#DomesticTravelRecord
I went to Kagawa 😌🫶
I visited for the first time since January this year, but no matter how many times I visit, it's a wonderful place! I happened to find out that there was a Yadon stamp rally going on at Kankakei in Shodoshima, so I decided to collect them while I was there ✨️
We got stamps at:
・Kankakei (Shodoshima)
・Shodoshima International Hotel (Shodoshima)
・Tamamo Park (Takamatsu) ✊💖
I also went to Ritsurin Garden, but I didn't know about this stamp rally at the time 😢
I'm glad we were able to complete it safely ☺️It seems like it's going on until the end of December this year, so if you're planning to visit Kagawa, please give it a try ❤️
There are Yadons everywhere in Kagawa and they're so cute!

Enjoy a Spa Extravaganza in Kagawa! Kobaitei〈Hot Spring Facility〉

◆ Inside the Hotel: 'Hanasumika'
There are saunas, open-air baths, and a massage area called 'Ashiyasume.' The women's open-air bath had roses floating in it at night and orchids in the morning.

Embark on the Angel Road of Shodoshima
Shodoshima Angel Road/Shodoshima One-Day Itinerary
You only have two chances a day to walk on the Angel Road.
Nearby shops sell ema (wooden plaques), and you can tie them to trees on the connected Oe Island after walking along the Angel Road.
Additionally, before heading to the Angel Road, you will pass by souvenir shops where you can send postcards of the Angel Road. (I sent one too, but unfortunately, it was the only postcard I lost from Japan 🤣🤣)
The Shodoshima website has a tidal chart for the whole year that you can check. If you are planning a one-day trip, I highly recommend the following itinerary:
After arriving at Tonosho Port, head to Angel Road 👉 Olive Park 👉 Kankakei Ropeway (you can also replace the Kankakei Ropeway with another attraction).
However, make sure to arrive in the morning to catch the low tide 😆
It takes about half an hour to take photos on the Angel Road. Enjoying the sound of the waves quietly lapping on the shore is also wonderful.
If the challenge of level 1386 fails, then ask a dog to do it for you?
Kotohira-gu Shrine and Kotohira Dog
Don’t miss Kotohira-gu Shrine when you come to Shikoku!
Although I came to see the dogs 😆
It is said that in the past, the distance to visit shrines in Shikoku was very long, and it was very difficult for elderly believers to travel far, so they would give their dogs to their neighbors who were coming to visit, and let the dogs visit on their behalf~ (Look what my dog is doing🤣
In addition to Kotohira Dog, the scenery here is also very charming~ If you want to go to the last Oku Shrine, there are 1386 steps in total, which will test your leg strength. Many people will turn back at the main shrine, but Oku Shrine has a limited number of royal heads!
You can’t buy it without climbing up~ There are also tengu on the stone wall, and the scenery from the commanding heights is more vast~
It was actually quite comfortable to walk slowly that day~
There are shade trees along the way to Osha, so it won’t be too hot in summer.

Marugame Castle: One of the Twelve Remaining Original Wooden Castles!!
Marugame Castle, a symbol of Marugame with a history of over 400 years, is one of the twelve remaining original wooden castles in Japan.
Known as the 'Castle of Stone Walls,' Marugame Castle boasts beautiful high stone walls and the smallest keep among the twelve remaining original keeps. It is also selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Castles. The stone walls, which rise over 60 meters from the inner moat where swans play, are said to be the tallest in Japan. These walls, known as the 'fan slope,' form a gentle curve and are topped by the wooden keep.
Access
If you are visiting by JR, get off at JR Marugame Station and walk about 15 minutes from the south exit of Marugame Station. If you are visiting by car, it takes about 20 minutes from Zentsuji IC or Sakaide IC.
[Takamatsu] Let's try the real Sanuki udon
#FuriTabi #TakamatsuTourism #SanukiUdon #KagawaTourism #Gourmet
A handmade udon restaurant located inside Takamatsu Station.
The noodles are made by kneading wheat flour and salt water, then drying them with heated air. The noodles are semi-dried, retaining more moisture than dried noodles, so they are soft when you put them in your mouth and chewy when you chew them.
Around the station, Takamatsu Port and Tamamo Park are also recommended.
Takamatsu Port operates ferries and high-speed boats to seven islands, including Shodoshima, Naoshima, Teshima, Ogijima, and Megijima. As the site of the Setouchi Triennale, it is also interesting to view the art works. Liminal Air -core-, designed by Shinji Ohmaki, is the symbol of Takamatsu Port. Two pillars tower over the port. Some of the colorful pillars are mirrored, reflecting the surrounding scenery. The changing scenery of the port creates various expressions of the work.
[Kotohira] The logo is cute! Morning at a retro cafe 🍞☕️
#0yentravel
Breakfast at the retro coffee shop "Coffee Shop Honey" in Kotohira, Kagawa Prefecture ☕️ The logo is cute! It's not a fake, it's a really long-established shop. This kind of retro-style shop has a nice taste, doesn't it? ✨Coffee Shop Honey has a lot of menus other than breakfast! And they're all cheap...😳 I was undecided, but I went for the morning set! A good old coffee shop loved by locals. There's almost no information about it online, so I thought it might be difficult for a first-time customer to enter, but they welcomed me warmly! It's easy for tourists to go too☺️💗⚠️By the way, it's only open in the morning, so you have to get up early! 🍽 Shop information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Store name: Coffee Shop HoneyAddress: 220 Kotohira-cho, Nakatado-gun, Kagawa PrefectureRecommended menu: Morning set

[Delicious] You'll be hooked! Thick egg sandwich and banana juice 🍌
#Travelingwithme
A delicious thick omelet sandwich and banana juice I had in Kotohira, Kagawa Prefecture🍌It's so delicious that I definitely recommend you try it at least once😍✨
This is a cafe attached to a bead store🥰Yamamura-san used to make a lot of thick omelets at his family's izakaya in Kyoto, and the thick omelet sandwich (¥850) made by him is shockingly delicious! It's impressive😳They don't prepare them in advance, so it takes time to serve. It seems you can make reservations in advance, so if you're short on time, I recommend making a reservation🙌The banana juice (¥450) is plentiful and the straw is a cookie, which is nice!

【Kagawa】Is this Greece? A Spot to Visit.
Welcome to the Olive Park on Shodoshima, an island floating in the Seto Inland Sea. 🫒
The Olive Park is a roadside station spread on a small hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, with about 2,000 olive trees. 📝
Admission is free, so it's recommended to drop by casually!
The scenery here alone can make you feel as if you're in Greece. 🇬🇷
Brooms can be borrowed for free at the roadside station inside Olive Park, so make sure to borrow one! 🧹
I pretended to be Kiki in front of the Greek-style windmill with a broom in hand. 🧹♥️
There are many other cute spots, so be sure to visit! ✨
Angel Road connects the islands only twice a day.
#KagawaTourism #Shodoshima #AngelRoad #Sunrise #Solo #SoloTrip #TwiceADay #777
There is a road with a cute name on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture.
“Angel Road”
Twice a day, at low tide, a road appears that connects the islands.
When I went there, the sunrise happened to be at low tide, so I was able to see a beautiful sun.
It felt like I had received some kind of power from early in the morning, and I felt like I could spend the day comfortably.
I would like to find a good time to go here again.
