    The Kankakei Ropeway runs across Kankakei Gorge, which is considered to be one of the three most beautiful gorges in Japan; the Ropeway extends from the foothills right up to the mountain peak. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the beautiful scenery in the Gorge, which changes with the seasons. The views of the Seto Inland Sea in the distance provide a marvelous contrast to the mountain vistas. The journey up the Ropeway takes approximately five minutes to complete.

    We travelled in Japan from mid October to mid November, hoping to enjoy the colorful Fall reds, but we missed out on the colors, too early. On the Kankakei ropeway, we finally saw the beauty of the...

    A somen noodle factory and restaurant which preserves traditional techniques but which also continues to take on the challenge of crafting noodles which make use of further polished and refined hand making methods. The establishment also offers reservation only noodle stretching experiences and factory tours. There are three courses available, the 60-minute course included noodle stretching, factory tour, and meal, the 30-minute included factory tour only, and other (advance reservation required).

    If you drive, I think this restaurant is good. At first, we want to have our lunch at 野之花. Unluckily, it is closed. We search another restaurant in trip advisor. It is found that this restaurant...

    This is a reconstruction of the kind of naturally-flooded saltpans developed in the early Edo period for making salt. It adjoins the Utazu-Umihotaru museum, which presents the history and culture of salt making in Utazu. Very few such working reconstructed saltpans exist in the country, and many area elementary and junior high schools make field trips to it. With a reservation made at least 10 days in advance, families and groups can also try making salt using the facility (note that salt making activities may be cancelled due to weather).

    こちらの「うたづ海ホタル」というのは、道の駅宇多津臨海公園の中心的な施設です。と言っても、こちらの道の駅の売りは、目の前に広がる瀬戸内海の景色だと思います。 海ホタルの横には復元された塩田があって、その塩田の水門などが見所になっていました。昔からの塩づくりの地域らしいと思ったのは、管内に並んでいたたくさんの種類の塩でした。

    This dairy farm is located a 40-minute drive from the Takamatsu Interchange on the Takamatsu Expressway. Situated on the southern edge of nature-enshrouded Naiba Dam amidst the beautiful Sanuki Mountains, the farm raises Holsteins and Japanese Black cattle. The cows drink the natural mineral-rich spring water of the area’s mountains, resulting in quality milk that is renowned for its slightly sweet flavor. The content of the farm’s milk is left unaltered and it is bottled after only being pasteurized, not homogenized, and some say you can’t get milk that is any fresher than this. With an advance reservation, visitors can do activities such as making a pizza, mozzarella cheese, or butter with the farm’s fresh milk.

Kagawa Areas

around-area-map

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
