Summary
This time, I used the “Okayama-Kagawa Wide Pass” (an unlimited-ride ticket that includes JR, ship, and bus services in Okayama, Kagawa, and Shodoshima), which can be purchased via the setowa app, for a 3-day/2-night trip to enjoy the spectacular scenery of Shodoshima and Kagawa.
The sea is beautiful, and Kagawa specialties such as somen noodles and meat are the most delicious, making for a very satisfying three days!
This article presents the second day of the program.
I have been touring the classic spots along the sea. I walked alone along Angel Road, a sacred place for lovers, and struggled alone for a picture at Olive Park… I enjoyed myself with a strong heart!
I hope you all will take a look at this plan for your trip!
