Experience of the stay
A pilgrimage trip to Shikoku, my first visit to Takamatsu. Daiwa Roynet Hotel is a major hotel chain, so it was reassuring! Moreover, I was upgraded to a ladies' room at check-in! The ladies' room was filled with amenities that women love, and both the hairdryer and showerhead are from ReFa. The decor is cute with red accents, and there’s a view of the Seto Inland Sea from the window. They even provided a beauty device and foot massager, plus disposable socks—truly pampered!
Experiences during the trip
When you think of Takamatsu, you think of the famous old restaurant [Ikkyu], known for its 'Bone-in Chicken'. I visited at 6 PM on a weekend but had to wait 1 hour and 40 minutes for a numbered ticket. They call you on your phone when it's your turn, so I spent the time relaxing at the hotel. It was well worth the wait for the incredible taste of the chicken! It was delicious!
During my pilgrimage, I visited the 83rd and 86th temples. I biked to the 83rd temple, Ichinomiya-ji, using a rental bike from the hotel's basement. It wasn't electric but at a low price of 200 yen for a day! Close to Ichinomiya-ji, there is Tamura Shrine, a shrine of Sanuki Kokunichimiya, which was also worth visiting, a fun little shrine.
Since it was a hot day, I took a break at Takamatsu Port when a ferry to Naoshima came in, stirring my travel enthusiasm.
I went to the 86th temple, Shido-ji, by train and also visited the Hiraga Genan Memorial Hall nearby (500 yen).
On my way back, I took a bus to Osaka, where I was treated to a beautiful sunset near the Naruto Bridge; it’s best to sit on the left side of the bus for a good view.
