The destination of this trip is Kagawa Prefecture, a county in the northeast of Shikoku Island, Japan, and the smallest county in Shikoku Island. The climate is mild and warm, and it rains all year round, which is one of the regions with the least rainfall in Japan.
Kagawa Prefecture is one of the famous tourist attractions in Japan, with beautiful Seto Inland Sea National Park, Shan Tong Temple with a long history, Biro Palace with Golden Knife, Miyajima and Kuriyama Park, but it is rarely known by Chinese people.
Compared with well-known tourist destinations such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hokkaido, Kagawa is one of the few minority destinations that have not been affected by commercial tourism.
Five days and four nights, my little fresh trip to Kagawa, Japan. I want to tell you how beautiful and quiet it is.

A hint
1, most drugstores can use visa and UnionPay cards, as well as WeChat and Alipay, so you don't need to bring a lot of cash except to buy water and snacks. 2. In this hotel, except Koryo Hotel, you can soak in hot springs for the other three nights. Don't miss it. It's nice to watch stars soak in hot springs. Kagawa is quiet and there are not many tourists. It was early June when I went, which was in the off-season of tourism. There are relatively more tourists in spring cherry blossom season and autumn red leaf season, but they are also much less than other tourist spots in Japan. The scenery is beautiful with few people, so it's worth visiting. Day 1 Shanghai Pudong-Takamatsu-leomar Edo Hot Spring Hotel
At 8: 20 in the morning, Shanghai Pudong Airport, Spring Airlines, I sat by the window and looked out. Fly again and go to a strange place.
10:50, outside the plane window are low hills and pieces of farmland with strange shapes. The flight attendant's voice came from the cabin: our flight will arrive soon. ...
1 1 p.m., landed at takamatsu airport, and the local time was twelve o'clock sharp. Hungry to find food, a bowl of beef udon noodles, and start this trip to Xiangchuan.
After lunch, I stayed at leomar Edo Hot Spring Hotel in Kagawa, which is a resort hotel integrating hot springs, amusement parks and restaurants. Very suitable for parents and children, but also suitable for young adults ~
"Play"&; "Cure", this is Xiangchuan's dream kingdom: leomar Resort.
The room is also a parent-child room, with three beds and a family of three just right.
Looking out from the window of the room, small bridges, wooden houses, windmills, distant mountains and nearby waters are fresh.
Put down your luggage and play! Leomar Resort is the largest amusement park in Shikoku and China!
It is divided into the amusement park NEWレオマワ_ルド and the hotel Leomarsen.
Leomar Water World (limited outdoor swimming pool in summer), the "Journey to the East" area that reproduces Asian architecture, provides a space for people to play and heal.
There is such a shuttle bus from the hotel to the playground, which is very kawaii. However, the entrance to the amusement park can be reached within ten minutes' walk from the hotel.
Small trains, cartoon characters, ferris wheel ... seem to have entered a fairy tale world.
Birds are the most classic amusement in the park, flying in the sky like birds.
I was childlike that day, as if I had returned to my carefree childhood and played to my heart's content.
The "New leomar World" has facilities that must be played, as well as the "Big Ferris Wheel". On the Ferris wheel, if the weather is clear, you can overlook the Seto Inland Sea.
There are also the most popular virtual reality (VR) amusement facilities today. I have experienced such a swing once. I quickly shuttled between tall buildings and my friends screamed.
I also watched the live fairy tale song and dance performance and sat among the children to interact with them. Full of laughter.
Another must-see attraction of "New leomar World" is "leomar Flower World". No matter which season you go, you can see colorful flowers.
A flower is the simplest beauty.
The corridor is very middle east, which reminds me of the days when I was wandering in Iran.
The garden is full of flowers, but unfortunately I'm not wearing a white skirt.
Very suitable for concave modeling and taking pictures. Every scene is an excellent background.
"leomar Flower World" is very quiet, with flowers everywhere, but only sporadic tourists. How beautiful it is for a couple to sit among the flowers.
There is an English garden in the innermost part, which makes me linger and don't want to leave.
It is every woman's dream to have such a garden in an arched corridor full of roses and smell the flowers.
I want to order a cup of coffee here and sit all afternoon. I sat in an outdoor chair, watching all this quietly, and my heart was tender.
Dinner was eaten in the hotel. There is a rich buffet dinner here. The hotel has prepared bathrobes, and many people wear bathrobes to have lunch in the restaurant.
Most people here are on vacation, and few foreign tourists can be found.
The seafood here is very fresh, and the crab meat is very sweet. It is very satisfying to eat it in one bite.
I came across a tuna disintegration ceremony, which was really interesting and ceremonial.
How did a tuna that only four big men could lift disintegrate on the spot? I saw them carrying a tuna and shouting "wow, wow" and walking around the venue for a week.
This is a yellowfin tuna. It's really big. The chef's knife fell off and a large piece of fish was separated.
This is probably the freshest tuna sashimi I have ever eaten in my life. It melted in my mouth.
After dinner, I had a rest and went to the playground at night, which was completely different from the daytime.
The blurred lights are a more dreamy fairy tale world.
The buildings along the river are illuminated by lights, and coconut trees are floating in the breeze.
Stand on the bridge and forget what night it is.
Numerous colored lights dot the playground. The summer wind blows my hair.
There is also a dreamy light show in the evening, which reminds me of the time when I stood under the northern lights.
The next day, Golden Knife Biro Palace-Nakano Oolong Noodle School-and Sanpen Production-Wang Yong Lingchuan Store.
The next morning, we went to the Golden Knife Biro Palace by bus.
Qinping Palace, located halfway up Xiangtou Mountain in the west of Xiangchuan County, is dedicated to "Jin Piluo". It has the spirit of healing, eliminating disasters and bringing good luck, so it has flourished since ancient times.
In the Muromachi era in the14th century, folk beliefs were high, and "paying homage to Kimpiro" was a very popular activity. Now many people still come from all over the country to pay homage.
On the way to the Golden Knife Biro Palace, there are many small shops on both sides. Stop and go, and everyone wants to walk in.
Visit the main palace road halfway up Xiangtou Mountain, with 785 stone steps, stopping and stopping all the way, full of new green.
In fact, a * * * has a level of 786. It is said that when it was built, it felt that this figure was not good-looking. After a step was built, it became the level of 785.
Think about the Japanese doing things really carefully, even the number of steps is so tangled.
To the shrine is 1368. Standing in front of the main palace, you can see the Qi Lei Plain. If you can't walk, visitors can also take a sedan chair in front of the gate on the way to the shrine.
I met a little brother, holding bird food in his hand, motionless, waiting for the birds to fly over to eat. How much patience this is.
There were not many tourists, so I planted many cherry trees and stood under them, imagining how beautiful the cherry blossoms would be in full bloom in spring.
During this year, the Golden Knife Biro Palace held various traditional ceremonies, which were carried out in an orderly manner according to the ancient ceremonies. The "Cherry Blossom Festival" is held every April 10. Under the blooming cherry trees, clergy, goddesses, admirers, etc. Everyone wears traditional etiquette clothes, holds cherry blossoms and patrols the quiet streets.
You have been to many places, and you will find that the more places you have never been. When I go somewhere in summer, I will think that spring is coming again and autumn is coming again, and there will be more and more destinations with grass in my heart.
The world is too big and poverty will never end. The scenery I meet is my scenery.
Wash your hands and rinse your mouth before visiting the shrine. There are a series of prescribed actions, which are very interesting.
After 785 steps, I finally arrived at the main palace and saw "Kimpiro".
In China, prayer belts are all red. Here, the wish note is written on it. They are all white, tied a knot and left here.
Many pictures of ships are hung high under the protection of "Kimpiro".
Shopping for more than an hour after going down the mountain is my favorite way.
Buy a local internet celebrity "He San Guo" ice cream and a refrigerator sticker in a souvenir shop. Don't worry.
People here are very laid-back, there is no fast pace, and everything is slow. The service staff in the store are super enthusiastic and say "welcome" in Japanese with a smile.
Of course, the famous food in Xiangchuan County is udon noodles! The most classic Japanese udon noodle method is inseparable from beef and broth. Noodles are smooth and soft, and sauce soup is rich.
At noon, we taught ourselves to make udon noodles at the Oolong Noodle School in Nakano.
Put on aprons and gloves, and everyone will get a brick-like surface.
You really don't know that udon noodles are stepped out with your feet?
At that time, the scene was very happy. With the music, everyone stepped on udon noodles together.
This is teacher udon noodles and my own udon noodles.
Oolong noodle is one of the most Japanese noodles and an indispensable protagonist in Japanese restaurants. Its taste is between Daoxiao Noodles and rice flour, and it is soft.
At noon that day, we made our own udon noodles for lunch. Eat or not?
In the afternoon, we went to experience it and made three pots nearby. It is only about ten minutes away from Nakano Oolong Noodle School.
Hesanpen is a kind of sugar originated in the eastern part of four countries, such as Kagawa Prefecture and Tokushima Prefecture, Japan, with light yellow color and even and delicate particles. Production and three pots of molds, all hand-made, quite exquisite.
Put on an apron and gloves. A teacher taught us how to make it.
One person chooses four favorite molds, and we will follow the gourd painting gourd ladle and start work. I chose birds, snowmen, shells and flowers, so cute!
Let's see what I did.
Everyone has a box that can be taken back, which is very memorable. It will take half a month for this sugar to become hard.
There are three pots of sugar and a matcha experience after it is done.
A piece of sugar, a mouthful of matcha. Sweet sugar mixed with bitter matcha has a strange taste.
It seems that coming to Japan is incomplete without buy buy.
For the rest of the day, we bought it at the AEON Lingchuan store in buy buy. It took more than two hours, but I was too busy swiping my card to take pictures.
Stay at REI Hotel in Gaosongdong at night. The room is small but comfortable. Living in the city, I want to go to the city.
Strolling through Gaosongcheng is neat and clean. There are many bicycles on the roadside here, which are tools for people to walk instead of walking.
Just after work, standing at the intersection, look at the people who live here.
Takamatsu City (たかまつし) is located on the northeast coast of Shikoku Island, Japan, and is the capital of Kagawa Prefecture, bordering the Seto Inland Sea. Developed in commerce, it is the land and water transportation center of Shikoku Island.
I went to eat Japanese food with my friends in the evening. It is very tight.
A large portion of snapper sashimi is delicious. The setting is also very particular.
Every time I eat Japanese food, I will be beautiful by these dishes. Every point is like a work of art.
On the third day, the ferry went to Otaru Island-Olive Garden-Soy Sauce Factory-Angel Road.
On that day, I left Takamatsu City and went to Karuijima.
Mitsui Island is sandwiched between Shikoku and Honshu. Among the 3,000 islands in the Seto Inland Sea, it is the second largest island and a popular holiday island.
Otaru Island is worthy of the name, with an area of only 170 square kilometers, but it is a bit large. However, almost every corner of the island is covered with tourist attractions.
We went to the floating island by ferry from Takamatsu Ikeda Port.
There is a rainbow painted on the hull of this ferry, and there is a giraffe on the deck of the ferry. How cute!
There is a coffee shop on the ferry, where you can chat leisurely. It was a cloudy day and the sea was gray. If it is sunny, it will be beautiful.
At the first stop, I went to the Olive Tree Park in Karuijima.
The scenery here is very similar to the Mediterranean coast, with olive plantations, vanilla gardens and Greek-style windmills. There is an olive tree memorial in the park.
This is the first time I have seen an olive tree blossom.
In the Olive Tree Memorial Hall, you can take a broom for free and go to the windmill to take photos of riding a broom. That's a classic look in the Japanese manga "The Witch Family Gang".
Olive Tree Park has a beautiful park, which is very quiet.
There are huge sculptures of trees and books, and you can walk in.
In the Olive Tree Memorial Hall, you can also choose a postcard, put a stamp on it and put it in that beautiful mailbox.
Take a classic photo of riding a broom on a windmill. Jump around with your friends and have a good time.
The original cool shape turned into a female nerve in a second.
Leaving the Olive Tree Park, it's time to feed again.
Otaru Island is rich in olive oil. Before lunch, we mixed a bottle of olive oil by ourselves in Zhongweimen. It turns out that olive oil still has so much knowledge.
Tourism is really a long learning.
This is a unique bottle of olive oil in the world, because I made it myself. You can also take it home. It was a great experience.
At Zeweimen, Teru Shimada,, I tasted the special olive oil dishes here at lunch. Olive oil salad, olive oil pasta, olive oil ice cream ... every dish here has olive oil.
I also bought some olive oil hand cream and tried it. It is very nutritious.
Otaru Island is also rich in soy sauce, which is the hometown of soy sauce. You can go to a soy sauce factory and brew it in wooden barrels. The air smells of soy sauce.
Soy sauce ice cream is an online celebrity food here. Can you guess what this kelp soy sauce ice cream tastes like?
Or the smell of ice cream. Not too salty. It tastes good.
In the evening, it is suitable to go to Angel Road to watch a sunset. It's a pity that the clouds were too thick that day.
Angel Road is located in Yinpu, Tuzhuang Town, Xiaodou County. It will appear in the sand trough in the sea twice a day at low tide, about 1.5 km long.
It is widely known as the "Holy Land for Lovers". It is said that if you walk hand in hand with important people, angels will come to the sandbar to realize your wish.
Here is a black cat, lying on a stone, used to being a star. Everyone passing by will take a photo and touch it.
Many blessings are written on shells and hung on branches by the sea. Is the person who wrote the oath with you still with you?
With regret that I didn't see the sunset, I stayed at BAYRESORTHotel in Karuijima. It is also a hot spring hotel with a family room and a beautiful sea outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
In the evening, I ate a buffet in the hotel, went back to my room to have a rest, and went to a hot spring. Japanese hot springs are separate for men and women, and they are naked.
The night on the island is very quiet. If it is a clear night, you can see the starry sky. Just like being isolated from the world, it can make you forget the outside world.
Day 4 Movie Village for 24 Primary School Students-Hanxiaxi Cable Car-Ferry-Gaosong Lilin Park
I have a transparent umbrella on rainy days.
I went to the "Twenty-four Eyes" movie village in the morning.
Twenty-four Eyes is a very classic movie, and most Japanese people know the plot of the movie. This is because a film "Twenty-four Eyes" describing the friendship between teachers and students was preserved here for scene shooting, and Japanese primary school students love to go hiking here.
"Twenty-four Eyes" movie village is not big, but it is very literary. Many scenes have a sense of substitution.
At the seaside, you can take a photo of your visit here.
This is the sea that day. Looking at Na Pianhai, I suddenly feel so lonely.
This is the classroom for filming, and it still retains its original appearance. I stood on the platform and played a teacher once.
Rain lane, I've been here, remember me?
There are twelve statues of teachers and students in the square, entitled "Teacher, play!"
Xiaoyue Island is also the shooting place of "The Eighth Cicada", and I just finished reading this book not long ago. It turns out that the place where Xun and his mother live in seclusion in the book is Otaru Island.
I've only read books, but I haven't seen this film. I think I must look for it when I go home.
Xiahanxi, located in the central part of Ogasawara Island, is a famous maple leaf scenic spot, which ranks alongside Mayexi in Kyushu and Miao Yi in Kanto as the three major scenic canyons in Japan.
It takes only five minutes to take the Hanxiaxi cable car. Imagine how beautiful the red leaves are in autumn. So I thought, maybe come back in autumn?
If you stand on the observation deck when the weather is fine, the inland sea landscape of Seto can be seen at a glance.
In Hanxia Creek, I had lunch. Although it is a simple meal, it is also very delicate.
After lunch, I bid farewell to Otaru Island, went to Caobi Port, and then took a ferry to Takamatsu. The position of the bow of the ferry, looking at the sea and taking a nap, is very good.
Kuriyama Park is one of the most famous Michelin-starred parks in Japan and a must-see for Takamatsu.
After returning to Takamatsu from Suzuki Island, I went directly to Chestnut Forest Park.
In this small shop, you can make an appointment for kimono experience. Wearing kimono and visiting chestnut forest park is the correct way to open it.
It took more than forty minutes to wear kimono. It's really complicated!
Lilin Park consists of 6 pools and 13 rockeries, with diverse scenery and different seasons.
There are too many red maple trees in the garden, which makes me imagine standing here in autumn again. And this summer, everything is green.
In the early and middle period of the Edo period more than 300 years ago, it was once the most famous "regressive famous court" in Japan.
The park is quiet and there are not many tourists. The air is fresh after the rain, and I always want to take a deep breath.
This is the most famous scene. My traveling companion took the photo, which is also my favorite photo of this trip.
I stood on the bridge and watched the scenery, and the people watching the scenery looked at me on the mountain.
In the evening, I stayed at the Takamatsu Jiang Yan Hotel, a pure Japanese tatami room, and I liked it very much. You must change your slippers when you enter the room.
In the evening, eat barbecue in Jiang Yan Hotel, get together with friends, drink and chat.
The meat here, whether beef or wild boar, is excellent.
Day 5 Grilled Fish and Running Water Experience-Gaosong Airport-Shanghai Pudong Airport
On this day, you can wake up naturally and go downstairs for breakfast slowly, which is very particular.
Jiang Yan Hotel is a type of farmhouse music in China, with many interesting experiences.
After breakfast, I went fishing with my friends. It is said that this kind of fish is only available in Japan.
Knock the fish to death, and then wear bamboo sticks from mouth to tail. To tell the truth, there is a lot of pressure!
Especially watching the fish spasm before dying, isn't it? Is it a little strong?
Add salt and bake for about half an hour. It is really delicious.
While waiting for the grilled fish, we also ate running water noodles.
Next is about 20 meters of bamboo, and clear water flows through it. Noodles are in running water, let's see how fast you can get rid of chopsticks.
Do pineapple, peach, orange and other fruits really flow with flour? Otaru Island and other noodles are handmade noodles, which are really delicious.
Eating flowing noodles is actually not for noodles, but for the fun of the game.
When leaving Jiang Yan Hotel in Takamatsu, the boss and service staff waved red flags to say goodbye to us. The five-day and four-night trip to Kagawa, Japan is coming to an end.
The hotel is close to Takamatsu Airport and will arrive soon.
"We always talk about helplessness and spiritual instability in the face of reality. We always avoid expectations and think that nothing is the greatest pursuit of life. "
Facing the expectation in your heart, where you want to go, set off at once! Don't leave too many regrets.
