Hello again!
I'm now in Japan

Miyajima is an island located off the coast of Hiroshima.
We visited Itsukushima Shrine, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If it was low tide, we could get closer to the Shrine Gate.
I saw a baby deer around the shrine. In Miyajima, many Sika Deers are wandering the streets. At night they go back to the mountain. 


Itsukushima Shrine

This old wooden arch bridge was built in 17th century.

Kintai Bridge

Hiyashi Udon (Cold Udon Noodles)
Big Hello from Japan
I was lucky that I joined to the tour to Miyajima. When I arrived in Japan, other TVs were about to leave.
Now I'm back to Takamatsu and it's lunch time.
Udon noodles is a special food of Kagawa prefecture. There are many ways to cook of Udon.
Today we eat Hiyashi Udon dipping soy sauce flavored soup with green onion.

Bento - Japanese boxed lunch
hanachan made omusubi bento for us.
What's packed in the box?
mmm... Teriyaki Chicken, Spicy-grilled eggplant and Cucumber Salad

This train is running on the Bridge across the Seto Inland Sea.

Our train ran across the Seto Ohashi Bridge over the Inland Sea. And we came to Kurashiki-city, Okayama prefecture.
This area is kept the old city view of Tokugawa Shogunate period. (17th-19th century)
There are many historical houses beside the canal. These were once used as warehouse of cotton.
"Kura" of the city's name means warehouse in Japanese.

At night we came back to Takamatsu.

Takamatsu-city faces the Seto Inland Sea which contains more than 2000 islands.
I visited the shrine near the coast. It's a small shrine. Japanese as Shintoists worship everything. The deities exist everywhere. The deity of this shrine is a salt-pan (Shiogama in Japanese) for drying and making salt from sea water.

Without a doubt, Chinese food is one of the most popular international cuisines in the world. Here in Japan, there are many Chinese restaurants and we can eat good lunch in a reasonable price.

Hello!
I'm standing on the top of the mountain between 2 cities, Takamatsu and Sakaide. It's an amazing view of the Seto Inland Sea. Can you see the Seto Ohashi Bridge over the sea? Yes, you know that I got a chance to cross the bridge.
In mountain I saw a very strange statue of Ushi-Oni. It is a creature which appears in the folklore of Japan.

Sushi!

The old photo studio, the location of the scenes in the movie "Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World"
Hi Mummy!
We drove to the neighbor town Aji. This old photo studio was used a location in the movie. People in love visit here as a "holy" place
I hope to watch this movie.
Love, Miche
 

Socrates in Love (Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World)

This is Ritsurin Garden, a typical Japanese garden. It is located in the center of the city, among the modern buildings.
For 228 years long since 1642, the Matsudaira family, the Federal Lord of Takamatsu owned and maintained the garden. Today the garden is open to public.
