[Kagawa] Enjoy even half a day! Eliminate lack of exercise at Konpira-san

1 hour and 20 minutes by plane from Tokyo ✈️ Introducing a trip to Kagawa that is surprisingly easy to visit! 12:20 Arrive at Takamatsu Airport 13:05 Take the Rimjim bus towards Kotohira Station 🚌 14:00 Get off at the entrance to Konpira-san This bus stop is only for getting off. You can leave your large luggage at the shop in front 🧳 14:10 Lunch - a hectic schedule Eat at an udon restaurant right near the entrance I had a small bowl of bukkake and lotus root tempura! The udon was chewy and very delicious ♪ 14:30 Visit Nakano Udon School Here you can experience making udon. We didn't have time to do it this time, but you can make a reservation in advance, so if you're interested, please come! There are rows of autographs of famous people lined up, so it seems to be quite a famous place. 14:45 Konpira-san, start climbing the stairs! 785 steps to the main shrine 1,368 steps to the inner shrine The greenery increases along the way, and you can feel the clear air. After climbing about 500 steps, you can see two sacred horses, there is a cafe, and there is also a spot where you can take a rest 🌿 15:20 Arrive at the main shrine Arrived in 35 minutes! If you go nonstop, you can come at this pace. The remaining steps are shown in detail, so I was able to climb without worrying about how much more there is! Since we came quite high, the view is amazing! 16:00 Arrive at the inner shrine It took us 40 minutes to reach the inner shrine. We walked further along a forest-like path with lots of greenery. It's good exercise, so if you're confident in your stamina, I recommend it. I bought a charm that you can only buy if you come this far! 17:00 Descend the mountain and take a break at a cafe☕️  Cafe Mori to Yama  After descending the mountain, we took a break at a cafe that caught our eye. We rested our tired bodies. 17:45 Take the train from Kotoden Kotohira Station to the city🚃  We had booked a hotel in the city, so we took the train back.  From the first stop to almost the last stop. We took our time on the way back while looking at the scenery of Kagawa. 18:30 Arrive in the city - Marugamemachi Shopping Street  We head to the hotel while passing through the shopping street lined with shops. It's more prosperous than we thought! 20:00 Before dinner - Chinese teahouse Saryo  The shop we were looking for was crowded, so we had some time, so we ate some meat buns here to satisfy our hunger! Very satisfied! 20:30 Dinner - Bone-in Chicken Ranmaru🐓  When you think of Kagawa, you think of bone-in chicken. I enjoyed both the young and adult chickens, and the difference in texture! There are many other famous restaurants, but they were all very crowded, so be careful when you visit. After enjoying all this, I went to the hotel to rest. It was hard to believe we arrived at 12 o'clock, as it was so fulfilling! I hope this is helpful to everyone 🌿
