    建物は非常に綺麗、まだ新しいのかな?ホテルとスポーツセンターのような施設で、失礼ながらこんな田舎には不釣り合いな規模と外観です。四国遍路の昼食場所としての訪問でしたが、場所は確かに良かったが、バイキング会場の奥の広いだけの机を並べた食堂でした。お遍路の昼食なので京都流に表現すると「まぁ、こんなもんかな」と云うところ。真意の説明はしません・・・。レストラン四季って場所です。お茶まで自分で移動して入れ...

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.
