The castle is small but the location is good in the middle of the city. The view is beautiful when you are at the top, you can also see the long bridge going to Okayama. It's nice to relax at the top, just accompany it with a cold beer, that's ok.

The park itself is free, including the steep walkway up to the castle (somehow it makes me miss staircases). You only pay to go into the castle, which is also where all the stamps are. The castle itself is small, but the park, the surrounding walls and the gates make for a great experience. Be mindful of the closing time though, as it is fairly early. There's a free parking lot where the museum is (but it was closed today, sadly). Although the parking lot was almost full when I arrived, there was no sign of any tour buses. So I still got an overall quiet experience, which was much appreciated. Don't forget to visit the little gift shop at the bottom of the uphill walkway, as they have a cute little fan shop, as well as some Yadon/Slowpoke merch (mascot of the prefecture).

Visiting Marugame Castle is truly a remarkable experience! Steeped in history, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the past that's unlike any other. I can’t wait to share more about the captivating stories and breathtaking views that make this place so special!

This is a small castle, open from 9 AM to 4:30 PM. Even after hours, you can still enter the park (though not the castle tower) to enjoy amazing sunset views

The walkway is absolutely delightful! The walk-up is a little tiring, but the view is perfect! If you walk up just before sunset, you'll have the perfect picture of marugame City!

Castle on a mountain! There is a steep climb up, but the view is amazing! Small tower on top, but it was closed when I arrived (Monday).

One of the 12 original remaining castles in Japan. The castle itself is very small with steep stairs to get up and it's a steep hike to get up to the castle itself, but the view of Marugame and the stone walls are impressive.

It is a small aquarium but mighty. Their interior design is impressive! A famous picture spot, indoor and outdoor engagements and super cute hand drawing descriptions. I like their cute merchandises sell in the shop. A highlight activity is you can open shell and get your own pearl with add-on to jewelry or design.

We love aquariums, so we had to visit this place since it’s said to be the largest aquarium in the area. Most people recommend spending about 2 hours here, which feels just right. We spent 3 hours here. What stood out the most to us was the dolphin show—it was the most gentle performance we’ve ever seen. You’ll understand what I mean when you see it for yourself! By the way, this aquarium consists the most beautiful animal drawing ever!!! my video is longer than 30 seconds which means there are more drawings in the aquarium. You should come and see them yourself!

It’s not a really big aquarium, but it is famous for the big round aquarium window. A lot of people take photos there. They also have dolphin shows which is quite short, I think it’s around 10-15 mins.

The largest aquarium in Shikoku Many sea animals ! Especially u can find otter here. U can buy the ticket easily at the entrance, no need to book online. TBH, the ticket price is a bit expensive. Better check the show schedule before u plan your visit. Since it is not possible to stay in the aquarium whole day to watch all the show. Re-entry is allowed, remember to stamp the stamp provided right next to the exit gate if u would like to go back. Many souvenirs in the shop, u can buy different types of special edition souvenirs there.

Nice small aquarium to spend a few hours with your family . There is a scheduled dolphin show , the pool is small but you can get very upfront close to the dolphins . We really enjoyed ourself

Not massive, can finish viewing a little bit over hour or so. But very indulgent experience.

As an Aussie we went there with our kids because they love fish ! However seeing those poor dolphins in their tiny enclosure, doing their performances was a little upsetting. $90AUD for two adults and two kids.

Very pretty, not much parking. Can get very busy because of the aquarium.

good!

Lucky

Delicious!

(Translated by Google) I visited during the Setouchi Triennale 2025 Autumn ♪ "ut01: Beyond the Colorless Wings" was on display for free here, and the majestic Setouchi Bridge was visible beyond, creating a stunning view. Nearby, there were also traditional restored salt fields built using the inshore method, clearly demonstrating that this area was once one of Japan's leading salt-producing regions. Other attractions include the Shikoku Aquarium and the 158-meter-tall Gold Tower observation tower. (Original) 瀬戸内国際芸術祭2025秋が開催時に訪れました♪ ここでは、「ut01　色のない翼の彼方」が無料展示され、その先には雄大な瀬戸大橋も見え素晴らしい景色でしたね。 また近くには昔ながらの入浜式復元塩田もあり、この辺りはかつて日本有数の塩の産地だったということがよく分かります。 またその他に、四国水族館や高さ158mの展望タワーであるゴールドタワーもありましたね。

(Translated by Google) There are many paid parking lots in the area, but I came here thinking that it would be free, and as expected, it was free. There are many facilities nearby, and the scenery is beautiful, so you can not only relax but also shop, so it's a really great place. (Original) 周辺には有料の駐車場ばかりですがここはさすがに無料だろうなと思いやって来ましたが予想通り無料でした。周辺には色んな施設もたくさんあって楽しめるし風景も良くノンビリできるだけではなく買い物も出来るのでほんと良いところでした。

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful road station, you can see the whole bridge, there is also a radio station inside where you can watch the host's program, which is very interesting. I regard this as the last place for the 29 stamps around Shikoku. The simple sandwiches are very good, and it is also a sanctuary for lovers 😍 (Original) 非常漂亮的一個道之駅，可以看到整座大橋，裡面還有一個電台可以看到主持人的節目放送，非常有趣。我把這裡當作環四國29個印章的最後一個地點，簡餐的三明治很不錯，還是一個戀人的聖地😍

It’s the place in Yuuki Yuuna is a hero, which then gets destroyed in the Washio Sumi chapter

Great place to relax with the family especially with kids. The museum that commemorates the construction of the The Great Seto Bridge was spectacular and there was a play space inside where everything was made out of cardboard which my daughter loved, she kept saying how amazing it was. You can easily spend your whole day here without getting bored.

There weren't many people. I think it would be good to take a quiet walk

nice park with great view. more suitable for the local to walk around, not like very sightseeing place.

A very scenic and calm place

looks like fun

One of the best tourists attractions in Kagawa prefecture 🌁

They have a lot of details about how the seto bridges were built. And it's free. Pity most of it was in japanese. But u can still watch the videos and animations. There is some English explanations limited to 1 sentence descriptions. Lovely views of the bridge. If you have kids or toddlers they'll love the large crawling space and parks... Come before 11am before the tour groups arrive...

Musesum with detailed disctription of the construction of the seto ohashi bridge. There are also interactive models with very fine details. Perfect location to bring your children for a fun day out.

An old Memorial place - quiet and few people

Nice view on the roof. free admission Yuuki yuuna wa de aru goods sold here.

Amazing museum with a lot of care put into it

Very interesting to read about how this bridge was built. They did a good job of explaining with videos and models how it happened. Makes you appreciate it even more.

free entry with lots of bridge construction history and information, great view on the roof as the look out for the famous bridge. Be reminded ~ nearly no public transportation

(Translated by Google) I was staying at a nearby Route Inn, so my family and I visited for dinner. Good thing I called in advance! The customers who came one after another went home with the seats full. I came into this restaurant by chance, but it turned out to be a popular restaurant! The fish was fresh and the fried food was served hot and delicious. It seems to take some time to be delivered, so it may not be suitable for those who are in a hurry. What surprised me was that even though the four of us drank alcohol and had our fills, it only cost us just over 10,000 yen! It's cheap, isn't it? (Original) 近くのルートインに泊まったので家族で夕飯に伺いました。事前に電話しておいて良かったです！次々来られるお客さんも、満席で帰られてました。偶然入ったけど人気のお店でした！お魚が新鮮で、揚げ物は熱々で提供されて美味しかったです。提供迄の時間は少々掛かるようなので、お急ぎの方には向かないかもです。驚きは、4人でお酒も飲んでお腹いっぱいいただいたのに一万円ちょっとでした！安いですよねー

(Translated by Google) This restaurant has everything from Kagawa's typical dishes to ramen. I visited after 1830 without a reservation on a weekday, and was told that the service would be delayed due to the customers who had reservations at 7pm, but there was no problem. I ordered bone-in chicken, grilled skewers, and grilled offal, but all of them were too salty and I quickly gave up. I think it's a beer hall business that has a strong salty taste, but in the winter it has the opposite effect and I end up buying palate cleansers at convenience stores. It's a shame because the taste isn't bad. (Original) 香川の代表的な料理からラーメンまで取り揃えてあるお店です。 平日予約なしで1830過ぎに訪問しましたが、19時の予約客の対応でサーブが遅くなると断られましたが、問題ありませんでした。 骨付き親鳥焼き、串盛り、ホルモン焼きなど頼みましたが、どれも塩味が強すぎて早々にギブアップしていまいました。 塩味がが強いビアホール商法と思いますが、冬には逆効果で結局コンビニで口直しを買う始末。味は悪くないので残念です。

(Translated by Google) When I was traveling, I stayed at Route Inn and visited the store with my child because it was a nearby location. Overall it's salty. I chose this restaurant because I wanted to eat chicken with bones, and it also had something that my kids could eat. Adults ordered bone-in chicken and carpaccio, and children ordered pizza and fried rice. When the fried rice was brought to us, we were told that it was made with less salt so that children could eat it, which was a very kind response. It was still salty though... Since it was early, the drinks came right after ordering. Just a bone-in bird. It's quite salty. It was so salty that I couldn't eat it all. I was very disappointed even though I came here for the chicken with bones. The carpaccio was delicious, but I thought it was a little expensive for the amount. A complaining customer came next to me and said, ``We apologize for the inconvenience,'' and asked for a free item. I had a very good impression of customer service when I went there. I was able to order on a tablet, so I was able to take my time and think about it while ordering. (Original) 旅行時にルートイン宿泊で、近い場所なので子供と来店しました。全体的にしょっぱいです。骨付鳥が食べたく、かつ子供達が食べられるものがあるところがいいのでこちらを選びました。大人は骨付鳥やカルパッチョ、子供達はピザやチャーハンを注文。チャーハンは持ってくる際に、「お子様が食べられるように塩味をおさえてあります」と言われ、とても親切な対応でした。それでもしょっぱかったですが… ドリンクは早い時間なのもあり、オーダー後すぐに来ました。ただ骨付鳥。かなりしょっぱいです。しょっぱすぎて全部食べられませんでした。骨付鳥目当てで来たのに非常に残念でした。カルパッチョは美味しかったですが、量にしては少々お高めだなと思いました。隣にクレーム客が来て、「ご迷惑おかけしました」と一品サービスしてもらいました。接客対応は私が行った時はとても良い印象でした。 オーダーはタブレットなのでゆっくり考えながら注文できてよかったです。

(Translated by Google) I went around 8pm during the holidays. The store was large and had private rooms and was well partitioned. The seats were empty, but there were about 3 employees compared to the number of customers. It looked like it was going to be difficult to get around, so I had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. The menu is so extensive that it's hard to choose. The item I wanted to eat was out of stock, so I ordered sashimi and Kagawa's specialty, young chicken with bones. The beer went well with its strong flavor. The sashimi was delicious except for the tuna. If you stay at Route Inn Sakaide Kita Inter, you will receive a discount ticket for this store. (I forgot to use it💧) (Original) 連休中の夜8時頃に行きました。 お店は広く、個室があったりきちんと仕切られていました。 席は空いていたんですが、お客さんの人数に従業員の方が3名程？で回していて大変そうで、席につくまで30分ぐらい待ちました。 メニューは豊富で選ぶのに迷います。 食べたかったのは売り切れだったのでお刺身と香川名物の骨つき若鳥の切ってある方を注文。濃い味付けでビールがすすみました。 お刺身もマグロ以外は美味しかったです。 ルートイン坂出北インターに宿泊するとこちらのお店の割引券をもらえます。(私は使い損ねました💧)

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on a trip. Right next to the hotel at Sakaide Kita Inter. A cheap and delicious izakaya. We also have fresh fish, Kagawa's famous local chicken dishes, yakitori, kushikatsu, ramen and udon noodles. There are also menu items that children will also enjoy. (Original) 旅行で立ち寄りました。坂出北インターのホテルからすぐ。安くて美味しい居酒屋さん。新鮮な魚、香川名物の地鶏料理、焼き鳥、串カツ、〆ようのラーメン、うどんもあります。子供さんにも喜ばれるメニューもありますよ。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation for a non-smoking seat, but was told that there were no non-smoking seats. The information on the reservation site was false and I was deceived. No words of apology. It was a shame because the food was so-so. (Original) 禁煙席の予約をしたが、そもそも禁煙席がないと言われた。予約サイトの情報に嘘があり騙された。お詫びの言葉もない。食事はまずまずだったために残念だった。

(Translated by Google) The menu is easy to read! The alcohol selection is also easy to understand. The Sanuki specialty chicken on the bone was delicious! The sashimi platter also had ice underneath, which was great! I think the service speed was average. Maybe it was because it was a weekday? (Original) メニューが見やすい！酒の品目などもわかりやすい。 讃岐名物の骨付鳥がうまかった！ 刺し盛りも下に氷がしいてあってよい！ 提供スピードは普通だと思います。平日だったからかな？

It's delicious

(Translated by Google) This is a store I've been going to since I was a child. No matter when I come, the taste remains the same and it's lively, so I stop by every time I go home. Bukkake udon and chicken tempura are delicious. (Original) 幼少期からずっと通っているお店です。いつ来ても変わらない味で活気があり、帰省する度に寄っています。ぶっかけうどんととり天がおいしいです。

(Translated by Google) Every udon restaurant is delicious and great value for money! This was my second stop on my first "udon hopping" trip. I was able to enter without a wait, and ordered "Kake Udon (¥310)" in Marugame Seimen style. After receiving my udon, I went to the condiment counter and found that in addition to the usual "green onion, tempura scraps, and ginger," they also had "grated daikon radish" and "lemon." I sat down and slurped down my udon. Udon Prefecture's consistently delicious. Next, I slurped down the broth. "Wow, even better than the first famous restaurant!" I thought. I ate it all in one go (my stomach was stuffed). Udon Prefecture's udon is consistently delicious, and above all, I realized how great value it is—so cheap it's almost unbelievable! Thank you for the meal. (Original) どこのうどん屋も美味しくコスパに優れているよ❣️ 初めての「ハシゴうどん」2軒目はココ。 待つことなく入店でき、丸亀製麺スタイルで、「かけうどん（310円）」を注文した。 うどんを受け取り、薬味コーナーへ行くと、通常の「ネギ／天かす／生姜」に加えて、「大根おろし／レモン」もあった。 席に付きうどんをすする。うどん県の安定の美味しさ。続いて出汁をすする。「ありゃ、1件目の有名店より美味しい❣️」と感じた。 一気に食べ進めて完食（腹パンパン）。 うどん県のうどんは、どこも安定の美味しさで、何より「安すぎるやろ‼️」と思うぐらいコスパに優れていることを実感した。 ごちそう様でした。

(Translated by Google) On my way to Reoma Forest, I stopped in for the first time because they were open early in the morning. The distinctive aroma of dried sardine broth It made a big impact on my palate, accustomed to kelp broth. When I tried to pick up the noodles, they broke. My concept of Sanuki udon was completely shattered. (^◇^;) I remembered that I'd ordered octopus tempura along with my meat udon. I took a bite, and the batter was so hard it felt like a weapon, making me wonder if my mouth would bleed! (lol) But As the name suggests, they must be "particular" about their food, so I continued eating, but I couldn't finish it. Rest in peace. (Original) レオマの森に参じる途中 朝早よから開いとる、と言う事で初入店。 いりこだし特有の出汁の香り 昆布だしに慣れ親しんでいる舌にはインパクトあり。 麺をつまみ持ち上げようとすると 切れた 讃岐うどんの概念崩れる(^◇^;) 肉うどんと共にゲソ天をオーダーしていたのを思い出して 一口ガブつくと 口内から流血するんか⁈ と感じさせる程コロモが凶器のように硬し（笑） したが 店名通り「こだわり」がおありなのであろうな、と思い食べ進めるも完食ならず。 合掌

(Translated by Google) It was open early during Golden Week, so this was my first visit for breakfast. The parking lot was almost full. When I left, there was a line. From the entrance, go to the right side and take the tray. Water and tea are also self-serve. There was a line and we stood in a small space. There was oden by the time I ordered the udon. Unfortunately, I passed this time. The price is not high. I ordered cold bukkake udon. You can prepare various types of tempura by yourself. Finally, there's accounting. There were toppings on another table. I sat at the counter and had cold bukkake udon and chikuwa tempura. You can add as many toppings as you like and change the flavor to your liking. The noodles are chewy, but the hardness is easy to eat and delicious. I also liked the taste of the soup. Unfortunately, the inside of the restaurant is small, so the atmosphere isn't very relaxing, and the line to order is cramped, making the people eating at the table next to you uncomfortable. I think if the table had a blindfold or a screen, you could eat without looking at each other. Thank you for the delicious udon noodles. (Original) ゴールデンウイークに早くから開店していたので、朝ごはんに初訪問です。 駐車場はほぼ満席。 帰る時には行列ができてました。 入りから右側に行き、お盆取ります。 水やお茶もセルフです。 狭いスペースで列ができて、並びました。 うどんの注文口までにおでんがありました。 残念ですが今回はパスしました。 値段は高くはありません。 ぶっかけうどん冷を頼みました。 色んな種類の天ぷらをセルフで取ります。 最後に会計です。 別テーブルにトッピングがありました。 カウンターに座り、ぶっかけうどん冷と竹輪天ぷらです。 トッピングが取り放題で好みの味変ができます。 麺もコシがありますが、食べやすい硬さで旨い。 汁の味も好みでした。 残念ながら店内が狭いので、ゆっくりとはいかない雰囲気で、注文までの列が窮屈で隣のテーブルで食べてる人は落ち着かないかな。 テーブルも目隠しか衝立てがあれば目線が会わず食事できるのでは、ないかと。 美味しいうどんを頂き、ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) You can eat delicious Sanuki udon even though it is very cheap. You can also add grated radish, green onions, and tenkasu to your liking 👍 There are large, medium and small sizes, but I think the small ones are the average size, so be careful. lol lol (Original) めっちゃ安いのに讃岐うどんが美味しく食べられる。 大根おろしやネギ、天かすも自分好みにのせられる👍 大中小あるけど、小が普通盛りと思うので注意です。笑笑

(Translated by Google) The Kawazu branch used to be delicious, but it's no good now. Why don't you go back and train at the noodle shop in Fuji Grand? The noodles are soft... The spiciness of the broth has improved. How's the spiciness of the tempura? The fried chicken is better, but the last time I came here the tempura was so spicy it almost raised my blood pressure. If they don't improve on that, they won't be as popular as they used to be. (Original) 川津店さん、昔は美味しったけど、今はダメです。 フジグランにある麺屋で修行し直したら⁉️ 麺柔らかい… 出汁の辛さはマシになりました。 天ぷらの辛さは⁉️唐揚げはマシ、前に来た時は天ぷらかなり辛くて血圧上がりそう。 その辺改善しないと前みたいに流行らない。

It‘s a place where you can feel 職人 shokunin spirit！ Great place to go shopping for your wardrobe ：）

Extremely low key and calm spot but amazing nonetheless. We walked around in all the jeans spots for a couple hours and weren’t bored for a second. The history of all the stores is amazing and the quality of the jeans are incomparable. Beware that the price of the jeans are above average (depending on where you live) the cheapest pair we found was about 18,000 yen and the most expensive was 60,000 yen but if you want you can spend a lot more on a pair if you order and want them fitted.

Went on a Sunday a bit lonely not so many shops open

A place for denim pilgrims to pay respect to numerous makers such as Big John on one end to Japan Blue Jeans on the other. Best go on days when business is open and enjoy a leisurely walk to peruse the many design offerings. There is likely something for every denim lover.

Five stars if you are a lover of denim but otherwise Kojima itself is not an attractive town and there is little else to see. Jeans Street is in fact spread over two streets, a map is available at the station, and has around thirty shops selling denim. Most are small boutiques and, in terms of style, some sell a broad range including Big John; some are aimed at a more older and conservative demographic, and a few are fashion-forward such as Japan Blue Jean, and Momotaro. None are street wise, and ultra-hip, and there are no stores selling pre-worn clothing. Nor is this a place for cheap prices. It's not an outlet street.

For jeans lovers definitely worth a trip. Apart from the jeans shops, nothing much to see in Kojima. Don't go there on a Monday, a lot of stores are closed, best time to go is the weekend, so I heard. Staff is very friendly in all the shops, most of them don't speak much English though. Not in all but in most shops, they will give you a tax free.

If you're looking to buy or have a pair of jeans made, this is the place for you. If not and you have no other reason for visiting Kojima, then I wouldn't make the trip. That said, it is a nice area to stroll around with lots of cafes and restaurants to choose from and it's only a 15 minute walk from the train station. If you're driving, then park for free in the Happy Town mall and walk five minutes. Kojima can be a short stop en route from Kurashiki to Washuzan.

Seeing this in person was surreal. It was beautiful and with backdrop of the sea it was so lovely. Love how people can just freely take a picture with it.

Always so much joy and fun to see the wonderful Yayoi Kusama pieces ❤️🖤💛🖤🧚 See the pumpkin when it gets dark, its a hell of a pumpkin 🎃 Visit the yellow pumpkin on the other side of Naoshima, enjoy the beautiful beach there. The local bus will take your from one pumpkin to another:D

The red pumpkin is just as magnificent as the yellow pumpkin. If you’re a fan of Kusama Yayoi, it’s a pilgrimage to visit both pumpkins.

Both Yayoi Kusama and ginger ale are very special to me and so it was a pleasure to enjoy my favourite beverage in front of my favourite artist. I haven’t seen the pumpkins in person before and so it was wonderful to see while drinking simulated gourd in the form of the melon flavoured ginger ale. Spectacular experience

Travelled from Okayama Station. takes about 1.5hr in total. If you have a tight schedule like me cos I reserved tickets at Chichu Museum, suggest you keep to the right of the ferry at disembarkation so you can make it to the town bus stop quickly especially if it's a crowded day. The bus is small and I had to take the 2nd bus as it was crowded. The red pumpkin is at the ferry terminal whilst the yellow pumpkin is at the last stop on the town bus - Tsutsuji-so.

Upon arrival on the island, it's the first artwork you'll spot! Often, it has a crowd trying to take photos with it. If you're patient, let those crowd finish first while you look at other things. I promise by then you can almost have the whole pumpkin to yourself!

Kind of like the “home base” piece of art on the island, being by the boat pier and all. Still, very iconic and a must visit, especially as it’s the easiest to get to. Be sure to catch this place at sunset, it’s beautiful!

Small but elegant art museum, near the sea & bridge so the view is very coool. Please follow the instruction to finish the whole journey so that in the end you will get “wow”.

Small museum dedicated to the painter Higashiyama Kaii. Worth a look around if you're a fan of his work or have time to spare. You can't take photos inside and unfortunately you can't buy postcards of the displayed works either.

So clear and nice place

Nice painting, nice view of Setouchi bridge, have to visit the museum cafe.

Just 300¥ to enter. Amazing artist exhibition of Kaii Setouchi in a very good architecture by Yoshio Taniguchi.

Very small and, honestly, it wasn't interesting

Beautiful view of the bridge

Awesome

(Translated by Google) At the end of March, I stopped by on the way back from cherry blossom viewing at Kawazu Sakura in Utazu. My destination was Murasakihanana, a flower related to radish. They were blooming in clusters and were cute. The yellow weeds? They were blooming together and looked nice. It was my first time here, but there were roses, hydrangeas and other flowers planted, so it seems even better depending on the season. There were also posters called "birthday trees," and it was fun to try to find out what flower my child was. There was also a large parking lot, so I felt at ease. (Original) 3月末、宇多津の河津桜の花見の帰りに立ち寄る。目当ては、ムラサキハナナという、大根の仲間の花。群生して咲いてて、かわいい。 黄色の雑草？も、一緒に咲いてていい感じ。 初めて来たけど、バラや紫陽花など、色々植えてあったので、季節によっては更に良さそう。 誕生日の木というポスターも貼ってあって、自分の花が何か探すのも面白い。大きめの駐車場もあるので安心。

(Translated by Google) It's a lovely, quiet park that you can enjoy for free! There is a large parking lot, a grassy plaza, and a baseball court, and it can be enjoyed throughout the year with wisteria flowers in May, roses and Kirishima azaleas in June, and a hydrangea road during the rainy season! There are many autumn elm trees growing here, and the deep green is beautiful. There are benches and tables, and it is quite large if you walk to the back, but there are about two toilets and more toilets for the disabled that have been added and are well maintained. There are about three free wheelchairs, and there is also play equipment that you can use freely! (Original) 無料で楽しめる静かで素敵な公園です！ 広い駐車場と、芝生広場や野球のコートなどもあり、5月はフジの花、6月はバラにキリシマツツジ、梅雨時期は紫陽花ロードと四季を通じて楽しめます！ アキニレの木がたくさん生い茂り、深緑も綺麗です。 ベンチやテーブルもあり、奥まで歩くと結構広いですが、トイレが2箇所くらいあり身障者用のトイレも増設されていて、整備されてます。 無料の車椅子も3台ほどあったり、遊具もあり自由に使えますよ！

(Translated by Google) I went to the Hydrangea Festival. It was not too wide or narrow, so it was easy to walk around, and there were many kinds of hydrangeas blooming, which was very beautiful. The lotus flowers were also beautiful, with yellow, pink, and white flowers. Jacaranda flowers were also blooming. (Original) あじさい祭りに行きました。広過ぎず狭過ぎずで歩きやすく、色々な種類のあじさいが咲いていてとてもキレイでした。蓮の花も黄色、ピンク、白とキレイでした。ジャカランダの花も咲いてました。

(Translated by Google) 2025.6.8 Addendum Hydrangeas are about 80% to 90% in bloom, depending on the variety. The roses are almost finished. There are many varieties, and they are planted in abundance, so it is worth seeing. They are well cared for. 2022.6.19  The roses are almost finished, and the hydrangeas are just in full bloom. There are three parking lots and three toilets. There is also a large grassy area, and many benches under the wisteria trellis and elsewhere, making this a very convenient park. There are two baseball fields, which seem to be used for games and practice. Next time I'll bring a lunch box. I miss the time when there was a pool. It is larger than the Takamatsu Municipal Pool, and much cheaper than the Zentsuji Municipal Pool and Reoma Pool, which were built later. I was grateful that they managed to stay open many times despite announcing their closure. When the slide was removed and could no longer be seen from the road, I felt a sense of sadness, realizing that this time it had really been abolished. (Original) 2025.6.8 追記 紫陽花は、品種によりますが全体としては8分9分咲きといったところ。バラは終わりかけです。 種類が多く、たっぷりと植えられて、見応えがあります。よく手入れもされています。 2022.6.19  薔薇は終わりかけ、紫陽花がちょうど見頃です。 駐車場もトイレも３ヶ所ずつ。大きな芝生広場もあり、藤棚の下ほかあちこちにベンチも多く、大変便利な公園。 野球のグラウンドは２ヶ所、試合と練習用で使い分けられている様子。 次はお弁当を持って行こう。 プールがあった頃がとても懐かしい。 高松市営より広く、後からできた善通寺市営やレオマより遥かに安価。閉鎖と発表しつつも、どうにかこうにか何度も営業してくれてありがたかった。 すべり台が撤去されて道路から見えなくなった際に、今度こそ本当にもう廃止なんだなと寂寥感。

awesome

Pretty view

(Translated by Google) This famous temple was chosen by Emperor Sutoku as the final resting place. The emperor's tomb is located within the grounds, creating a pious atmosphere. Even before that, it was a sacred site for Kobo Daishi, and is rich in cultural assets. Nestled in the mountains of Goshikidai, it's surrounded by nature throughout the four seasons, yet is easily accessible, with a wide road running right up to the temple. It's also the setting for a dramatic piece of history: before Emperor Meiji fought against the former shogunate forces, after 700 years, the spirit of Emperor Sutoku was welcomed from this place to the capital in order to secure the Meiji government's support. Even if you're not interested in making the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, we recommend a visit. (Original) 崇徳天皇が終焉の地として選んだ名刹です。境内に天皇の墓所があり、敬虔な雰囲気です。 それ以前の弘法大師の霊場としても由緒溢れる寺院で、文化財に溢れています。 五色台の山中で四季の自然豊かな場所ですがアクセスは悪くなく、広い道路がお寺の前まで通っています。 明治天皇が旧幕府軍と戦う前、明治政府の味方をしてもらう為、700年の歳月を経て崇徳天皇の御霊をこの場所から都に迎えたというドラマチックな歴史の舞台でもあります。 四国八十八ヶ所の巡礼に興味がない方にも、一度訪問することをおすすめします。

(Translated by Google) 81-ban Shiramine-ji Temple is located on Mt. Goshikidai in Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture. It's quite high, requiring a short climb from the plains, making it a challenging stop for seasoned hikers. However, the lush trees and cool air along the way make the climb less monotonous. The main deity is the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara. The main hall is majestic, and the grounds are spacious. Besides the main hall and Daishido Hall, the Mausoleum of Emperor Sutoku is also a unique feature. It's said that Shiramine-ji Temple has a deep connection with the spirit of Emperor Sutoku, resulting in a richer atmosphere of faith and history than typical temples. The grounds are lined with towering ancient trees, and stone steps and lanterns stretch all the way to the front of the hall, giving the walk a truly ancient temple atmosphere. The area is not crowded, and the environment is quiet, making it a pleasant place to take a leisurely walk. Unlike the plain-feeling simplicity of the previous stop, 80-ban Kokubun-ji Temple, Shiramine-ji Temple possesses the solemnity and tranquility unique to mountain temples. (Original) 81 番白峯寺位在香川縣坂出市的五色台山上，位置比較高，從平地要爬一段山路，對走遍路的人來說算是有挑戰的一站。不過一路樹木茂密，空氣清涼，爬上來的過程不會太單調。 本尊是千手觀音菩薩。本堂建築莊嚴，境內範圍寬敞，除了本堂和大師堂之外，還有「崇徳天皇陵」，是這裡特別的地方。據說白峯寺和崇德上皇的靈魂有深厚的因緣，所以信仰氛圍和歷史故事比一般寺院更濃厚。 境內古木參天，石段與石燈籠一路延伸到堂前，走起來很有古寺的氛圍。參拜的人不算多，環境安靜，可以慢慢繞一圈。 和前一站 80 番國分寺在平地的樸實感不同，白峯寺多了一份山寺特有的莊嚴與清幽。

(Translated by Google) The 81st Temple of the 88 Shikoku Temples It's a 30-minute drive from Sanuki Kokubunji Temple, the 80th temple. While the road winds through the mountains, there aren't any particularly narrow sections, so if you take your time, it's not scary. There are three parking lots, all of which are free. The tomb of Emperor Sutoku is here. As I entered the temple grounds, I heard a constant stream of music coming from the speakers, which made me wonder what it was all about. There's a fairly long staircase leading up to the main hall, and there are halls dedicated to the principal image of each zodiac sign, so it might be a good idea to visit the one associated with your birth year. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't have the photo data for the Tengu statue I was supposed to have taken, so I think I'll go again. (Original) 四国八十八ヶ所八十一番札所 八十番の讃岐国分寺から車で３０分。山の中でぐねぐね道を走ることにはなるけれど、それほど狭いところはないのでゆっくり上がれば怖いことはない。駐車場は３か所ありいずれも無料。 崇徳天皇の御陵がある。 境内に入ると、ずーっとスピーカーから何やかや聞こえてきてて、なんコレってなったりもした。 本堂まではそれなりに長い階段あり、干支ごとの御本尊のお堂があるので、自分の生まれ年のところもお参りするといいかも。 撮影したはずの天狗の像が撮影データがなくてちょっとしょんぼりなので、また行こうと思う。

(Translated by Google) I don't know if there's a feeling of comfort here. I really like the layout of the temple and the way to get there. (Original) 有没有一种感觉来到这里会特别让人感觉舒适，我也不明白。很喜欢这个寺庙的布局还有过来的路。

(Translated by Google) Founded by Kukai, Shiromine-ji Temple protects the tomb of Emperor Sutoku, who was exiled to Sanuki Province during the Hogen Rebellion and died here. The temple grounds are spacious and beautiful. (Original) 空海が開基した白峯寺は、保元の乱で讃岐国に流され、この地で崩御された崇徳上皇の御陵を護持しています。境内は広く、美しい寺院です。

Highly recommend for their udon!

(Translated by Google) Toraya Tabelog Udon KAGAWA 100 Meiten is a popular restaurant with two major signs: Akira udon and curry udon. The large U-shaped counter like the old Yoshinoya is also distinctive. This is a service restaurant where you sit at a designated seat and place your order, rather than a self-serve restaurant. It takes a while because they boil the quantity ordered at once, but ｜ω・) It's always freshly boiled. Warm egg curry udon 700 yen Considering the curry udon at a service restaurant, the setting is reasonable. On the other hand, the soy sauce noodles are expensive at 440 yen, so it's easy to tell which ones are not recommended. It seems that the chef was originally cooked in a hotel restaurant, and the taste is similar to that of a hotel curry. Most of the famous curry udon restaurants in Kagawa such as Tsuru◯ and Take◯ use commercial-grade ones, so it would be great if you could get authentic curry at this price! ! The noodles are chewy and chewy, and the water has been drained perfectly, so the curry mixes well with them. If you don't have enough spiciness, there is liquid capsaicin available, so try adding it. I am very grateful for this blissful cup of curry that brings you the height of traditional curry without any adventure. (Original) とらや 明うどん、カレーうどんの二大看板で人気のお店で食べログうどんKAGAWA百名店。 昔の吉野家のような大きなコの字のカウンターも特徴的 セルフではなく案内された席に座って注文すると提供してくれるサービス店となります。 注文を聞いた数をまとめ茹でくれるので時間はかかりますが｜ω・) 常に茹でたて〜。 温玉カレーうどん 700円 サービス店のカレーうどんと考えるとリーズナブルな設定です。 反面しょうゆうどんなんかは440円と鬼高い設定ですので推しでない物が分かりやすいカモ。 大将は元々はホテルのレストランで料理をされていたらしく、いわゆるホテルカレーの味わい。 鶴◯や武◯と言った香川でカレーうどんが有名なお店の大半が業務用のやつを使ってますから本格的なカレーがこの値段で頂けるなら最高でしょう！！ 麺は餅っとプルっとしたもので、完璧に湯切りがなされてますからカレーの絡みが◎ 辛味が足りない方にはカプサイシンの液体があるので投入してみてください。 冒険しない王道カレーの高みを感じる至福の一杯に大感謝です。

(Translated by Google) A great start to our udon tour! One of Sanuki's best curry udon. I ordered the soft-boiled egg curry udon. The aroma of spices filling the restaurant already builds my anticipation, even before the dish arrives. The aroma of spices fills the air with excitement as I take one bite, and this authentic curry udon draws you in with its lingering spiciness and aroma. The noodles have a moderate firmness, but are still chewy, making them the perfect firmness for the rich curry! You can adjust the flavor to your liking by cracking the soft-boiled egg after a while to make it milder, or adding spice oil to make it spicier. This is a bowl you'll never tire of, and you'll never tire of it until the very end. Located in Sakaide, just across the Seto Ohashi Bridge, this is a great place to stop for a drink at the start of your trip. The paper aprons provided were a nice touch. (Original) うどん巡りのスタートダッシュ！讃岐屈指のカレーうどん。 注文したのは温玉カレーうどん。 届く前から店内に広がるスパイスの香りに期待が高まります。 一口食べればスパイスの香りがガツンと広がり、辛さと香りの余韻に引き込まれる本格派カレーうどん。 麺のコシ控えめながらも、もちっとした食感で濃厚なカレーには最適なコシ！ ある程度食べたら温玉を割り、まろやかにするのも良し、スパイスオイルを加えて辛くするのも良しの、自分好みに調整できて、最後まで飽きずに食べ切れる一杯です。 瀬戸大橋を渡ってすぐの坂出にあり、旅の始まりに立ち寄る一杯としてもおすすめ。 紙エプロンが用意されているのも嬉しいポイントでした。

(Translated by Google) It's a simple restaurant with only a U-shaped counter. I think there were about 15 seats. I ordered the original Akira Udon. It is said to be topped with a sweet sauce, and it is indeed sweet. I was told that it tastes better with lots of wasabi, so I did, and the sweet and spicy flavors combined with the thin udon noodles created a unique taste. I regret not having tempura on top. It would have been even more delicious if we had eaten it together. Thank you for the meal. (Original) コの字カウンターのみという、渋い造りのお店です。15席ほどあったかと思います。 オリジナルの明（あきら）うどんを注文。甘めのつゆのぶっかけということですが、確かに甘いです。わさびをたっぷり入れると美味しいとのことで従うと、甘みと辛みが細めのうどんに合わさって、他にはない味わいでした。 天ぷら乗せるべきだったなーと後悔です。一緒に食べたらもっと美味しかったはず。ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) [Toraya] We visited Toraya on a udon crawl. Today's Order ★Warm Egg Curry Udon (Small) This was the third stop on our udon tour of Marugame City. Located in a warehouse-lined area near the Seto Ohashi Bridge, this restaurant is run by an elderly couple. They're closed three days a week, so we were lucky they were open. When we arrived, there were about three groups of customers already lined up. Looking closer, we saw that there were three more groups occupying seats inside the restaurant, for a total of six groups. We waited about 30 minutes before entering. This place is a bit of a departure from the Sanuki udon scene, as their specialty is curry udon. The smell of curry filled the air, and although they had other options, curry udon was the only choice. The udon topped with their homemade curry was the perfect way to end our udon tour. Thanks for the meal♪ #Toraya #Udon #Sakaide City #Okinohama 1-chome (Original) 【とらや】 うどんハシゴで伺いました。 本日の注文 ★温玉カレーうどん(小) 丸亀市のうどんの食べ歩き3軒目で伺いました。 瀬戸大橋の近くの倉庫が立ち並ぶエリアにある高齢のご夫婦でされているお店で、週３のお休みだったので開いていてラッキーでした。 お店に着くと3組ほど先客が並んでおり、よく見たら店内の椅子にも3組ほど合計6組待ちで30分ほど待って入店。 ここは讃岐うどんの中では変化球というか、カレーうどんが名物のお店で、店内はカレーの匂いで、他もありましたがカレーうどん一択で。 自家製カレーがかかったうどんは、食べ歩きの最後の締めに最高でした。 ご馳走さまでした♪ #とらや #うどん #坂出市 #沖の浜1丁目

(Translated by Google) There were many customers ahead of me, so it took about 20 minutes from ordering to serving. The thin, smooth and soft noodles went down well and went well with the mild broth. If you're looking for firmness, it's a little lacking. The broth is too mild for me. Next time, I'd like to try curry udon or ming udon. (Original) 先客が多く注文してから提供まで約20分 細めのツルツルと柔らかい麺は喉越しよく 優しいお出汁に合って美味しかった コシを求めると少し物足りなさを感じます 私にはお出汁が優し過ぎるので 次はカレーうどんか明うどんを食べたい

(Translated by Google) Slightly thin, chewy and chewy udon noodles. They are boiled to order, so it takes a little longer to arrive, but the texture of freshly boiled udon noodles is different from reheating them! ! The curry udon seemed to be popular and many people ordered it. I ordered Ontama curry udon with Ming udon topped with Ontama. The aroma of Ontama curry udon stimulated my appetite, and the taste was delicious because it also contained Ontama, which was delicious when combined with the mild texture of the udon! ! Akira udon is bukkake udon with a sweet sauce, and is eaten by adding wasabi and mixing it in. The wasabi rounds out the sweetness of the sauce, and it has just the right amount of seasoning, making it easy to eat with your chopsticks. This is a good restaurant where the taste and texture of the noodles are impressive. (Original) 少し細めのモチモチ・シコシコのうどん　注文を受けてから茹でるので着丼迄はやや長めですが　茹でたうどんを温め直すのと茹でたての食感はやはり違います！！　カレーうどんが人気のようで多くの方が注文さてれていました。 私は温玉カレーうどん　明うどん温玉乗せ　を注文　温玉カレーうどんは何より香りが食欲をそそり味は温玉も入っていたのでマイルド良い食感のうどんと合さって美味い！！ 明うどんは甘めのタレが入ったぶっかけうどんでワサビを入れて混ぜて食すスタイル　タレの甘さをワサビで締める感じでちょど良い塩梅でスルスルと箸が進みます。 麺の美味さと食感が印象的な良店です

(Translated by Google) I visited before noon on a public holiday. It was a popular restaurant that was fully booked. I ordered a small bowl of Shoyu Tengu Udon. As rumored, the amount of noodles was more than average at other restaurants! Be careful when ordering. The noodles were chewy and the broth was slightly sweet and delicious! I'd love to visit again! (Original) 祝日の昼前に訪問。満席の人気店。醤油天狗うどん小を注文。噂どおり麺の量は他店の中以上！注文の際にはご注意を。麺は歯応えあり、出汁は少し甘めで美味！また訪問したいですね😁

(Translated by Google) Machikawa Handmade Udon in Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture Located at the foot of Goshikidai in Sakaide City's Aomicho, Machikawa Handmade Udon was founded in 1989 and is a long-established restaurant deeply rooted in the local udon culture. The restaurant actively incorporates locally sourced ingredients and boasts the "Tengu Series," of which the "Miso Tengu" is highly regarded as a uniquely Machikawa flavor. ✨ The restaurant has a relaxed, homey atmosphere, with both table seating and tatami rooms available. Of course, the regular menu is available, but I found one dish that really caught my eye! 👀✨✨ I was having a hard time deciding, but this is what I ended up ordering! 👋 "Miso Tengu" (Miso Tengu) 550 yen After a short wait, the bowl arrived. The gorgeous, lavish appearance, packed with ingredients, was truly impressive. 🤩 The colorful toppings include red carrots, red sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms, and the mochi (white rice cakes) add a warming texture. Let's get started! ️ The udon noodles have a supple, smooth texture and are easy to swallow. They have just the right amount of firmness and a rich flavor. 😋✨✨ There's quite a lot of red carrots 🥕 cut into the shape of a tengu 👺. By the way, this udon is topped with tengu and 10 other ingredients! 🤭🤭🤭 The ingredients change depending on the season, but it's a hearty, hearty, and delicious bowl of udon featuring a wide variety of ingredients. 😍 It's perfect for the cold season, but it's also a hearty warming treat any time of the day.

Please give it a try! ️ I said hello to them on my way out and presented them with a NO NOODLE, NO LIFE. sticker. 😊 It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 香川県坂出市にある［手打うどん 町川］さん 坂出市の青海町、五色台のふもとに佇む「手打うどん 町川」さんは平成元年創業とされ、地域のうどん文化に根を下ろす老舗です。 地元産の食材を積極的に取り入れ、「天狗（てんぐ）シリーズ」を看板に掲げ、その中でも「みそてんぐ」は町川ならではの味として高く評価されています✨ 店内はアットホームな落ち着いた雰囲気で、テーブル席やお座敷などが用意されています。 通常のメニューは勿論あるんですが、一際目を引くメニューを発見👀✨✨ どちらにしようか悩ましい所でしたが、今回注文したのはこちら👋 『みそてんぐ』550円 待つ事しばしで着丼 具材がたっぷり入った豪華なビジュアルが圧巻です🤩 具には金時ニンジン、金時芋、白菜、椎茸などが彩りよく入り、また餅（白餅）が溶け込むことで温かみのある口当たりが加わります 早速頂きましょう‼️ しなやかでつるりとした食感の、喉越しの良いうどん ほど良いコシがあり風味良く頂けます😋✨✨ 天狗👺の型に抜かれた金時人参🥕、結構沢山入っています。 因みにこのうどん、天狗と10種類の具材で"テン具"が掛かってるんですよ～🤭🤭🤭 季節によって具材の内容は変わるようですが、ボリューム満点で豊富な食材が楽しめるほっこり美味しい一杯😍 寒い時期は勿論ですが、どんな時でも心にじんわり温もりを与えてくれます。 讃岐うどんの伝統を守りつつ、地元の風味とアイデアを織り交ぜた町川の味は、訪れた人に深い印象を残すことでしょう。 是非召し上がってみて下さいね‼️ 帰り際にご挨拶させて頂いて、NO NOODLE,NO LIFE.ステッカー進呈させて頂きました😊 とっても美味しかったです ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) I received chilled udon. The store is a general store and they will also bring you water. The noodles were medium-thin and served cold, so they were chewy and chewy. The quantity was also good. However, the amount of dipping sauce was small compared to the amount, so I think it would have been better if there was a little more. But the price was good for the quantity. It was delicious. (Original) 冷やしうどんを頂きました。 店は一般店で水も持って来てくれます。 麺は中細麺で、冷たく冷やしているので、コシと弾力があり食べごたえがありました。量も多いのも良かったです。 ただ、量に対して付け出汁が少ないのでもう少し多いと良かったかな。 でも量に対して値段も安くて良かったです。 美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) The portions of udon are large. The regular-sized bowl comes with two bowls, so it's quite filling. The first time I went, I ordered a large bowl and couldn't finish it, so you should be careful. I had the chilled udon, which was nicely cold and the noodles had a nice firm texture, making it delicious. (Original) うどんの量が多いです。 普通サイズで2玉ありかなりの食べ応えがあります。 初見で行った時、大を頼んで食べきれなかったことがあるので、注意が必要です。 うどんは冷やかけを食べたのですが、いい感じに冷たく麺も腰があっておいしかったです。

(Translated by Google) The portion of udon is generous. The udon is of normal thickness and firm. The dipping sauce has a slightly strong soy sauce flavor. It's cheap despite being a full-service restaurant. I'm interested in the champon udon. (Original) うどんの量は多め。 太さは普通のコシのある、硬めのうどん。 かけ汁は、醤油が若干濃い感じ。 フルサービスなのに安い。 チャンポンうどんが気になる。

(Translated by Google) The portions are larger than at other udon restaurants, so if you only eat a little, it's best to ask for a smaller portion when ordering. The udon is chewy and very delicious. (Original) 他のうどん屋さんに比べて量が多いので少ししか食べない人は注文する時に少なくしてもらうようにお願いした方がいいと思います。 うどんはモチモチしてとても美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) Even if it's small, the amount of noodles is a lot, and if it's large, it's about 3 balls of noodles at other restaurants. The noodles are soft but have the necessary elasticity. Nowadays, the prices of many things are going up and we can't afford to live anymore, but surprisingly, as far as I know, prices haven't increased in over 10 years. Combined with the large quantity, the cost performance in terms of quantity is considerable. Tengu udon, which can be said to be a specialty of this restaurant, comes in two types: miso soup stock and soy sauce soup stock. The soy sauce tengu has a rather sweet flavor, and is similar to udon noodles at the end of sukiyaki. Personally, I prefer miso soup. The inside of the store is a small general store, and it gets very crowded at lunchtime, making it uncomfortable. Sharing a table with strangers is common. There are about 6 parking spaces in front of the store, but many people park their cars in the space reserved for the lane expansion. The road in front of the store will eventually be made into four lanes, so parking will likely become quite inconvenient. (Original) 小でも麺の量が多めであり、大であれば他のお店の3玉分くらいはあります。麺は柔らかめですが必要な弾力は持っています。多くのものが値上げされて生活に余裕が無くなっていく昨今で、驚くべきことに私が知る限り10年以上は値上げされていません。量の多さと合わせると、量的なコストパフォーマンスはかなりのものです。 このお店の名物ともいえる天狗うどんはみそ出汁としょうゆ出汁の2つがあります。しょうゆ天狗の方はかなり甘めの味付けであり、すき焼きの締めのうどんといった感じです。個人的な好みではみそ出汁の方が好きです。 店内が小ぢんまりとした一般店であり、お昼時にはとても混み合うので居心地が悪いです。見ず知らずの人との相席は普通です。 駐車場は店前に6台程度ですが、車線拡大のために確保されているスペースに多くの人が車を停めています。いずれ店前の道も4車線化されますので、そうなると駐車がかなり不便になりそうです。
