2025 Mitoyo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

2025.4.2 This trip is defined as: Cherry Blossom Viewing Trip This is my first time to set foot on the land of Shikoku. I was very unfamiliar with Shikoku before coming here, but after coming here, I found that I really like it. Not only is it closer to the local Japanese people, but because there are relatively fewer tourists, the quality of tourism is super good! This time we will introduce the "Ise Asahiyama Hongu Shrine" located in Marugame City. It is located halfway up the mountain. When you drive up the mountain, you can see cherry blossoms blooming on the roadside. I was worried that today’s rain would affect the flower season, but now I’m excited! Ise Asahiyama Hongu Shrine is located in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture. It attracts everyone with its mysterious vermilion torii and thatched wheels. There are many flat parking lots🅿️. Japanese families can be seen everywhere laying mats under the cherry trees to enjoy the cherry blossoms🌸 and have picnics. The breeze blows gently, it is really comfortable! There are about 2,000 cherry trees here. When the flowers are in full bloom, you can feel the mystery of your soul being healed here! Climb up the mountain, and you can still overlook the beautiful view of the Seto Bridge. The scenery consisting of mountains, cherry blossoms, sea, and Seto Bridge is really beautiful! I highly recommend everyone to come here to see the stunning view! 📍Address: 3829-141 Shimoma, Takase-cho, Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture 🕰️Opening hours: 24 hours 💰Average Consumption: Free🆓 💞Recommended reason: Lots of parking lots🅿️ Cherry blossoms are in full bloom 🗓️Itinerary: Ise Asahi Yamamotogu Shrine》Chichigahama Beach #2025樱花 #Marugame市 #Japan #Kagawa #cherry blossom viewing #Ise Asahiyamamotogu #March Good Places 2025

Kagawa Prefecture, Chichihama Beach Japan's famous sunset spot, Kunmei Bolivia's Sky Mirror It's a pity that today's sunset time can't match the bus😭 It was a bit windy when I went there, so the water surface was always wavy. I think it would be more beautiful if I wore waterproof shoes and walked to the middle of the water! There are also many cafes on the shore. I recommend you to have a cup of coffee and rest while waiting for the sunset. Transportation: I took the bus to JR Kannonji Station. The bus runs very rarely, about one hour to one and a half hours. If you drive yourself, I highly recommend coming at sunset. After all, this is one of the top 100 sunset spots in Japan, and the photos are really beautiful! It is recommended to check the time before departure, and also confirm the weather and tide of the day #香川観光 #dopamine旅行 #100方法旅行 #母父之樓 #夕阳百選 #日本景点 #独旅

Did you know that there is a place in Kagawa, Japan where you can take reflection shots like Uyuni? 👀✨ It's Kagawa's Chichibugahama Beach ⛱ It's famous for its sunsets, but you can take great reflection photos at low tide 🙆🏽♀️ By the way, the official website tells you the best timing, so check it out before you go ◎ There are volunteers in blue hoodies on site who will take great photos like this 🙌🏽 I recommend going a little before sunset and enjoying the spectacular view while chilling with a coffee or beer 🫶🏽 #Kagawa #Domestic travel #Spectacular view #0 yen travel autumn #100 travel styles

#June Good Places 2024 #Free Lounge Change on Member Day 27th of every month #Star Writer June vlog #Register for June hotel test sleeper Social media is booming📸, attracting photography enthusiasts from all over the country to come and visit🌅, and is one of the most popular attractions in Kagawa Prefecture🎑. The day came to my parents' ヶhama thinking to take a picture of the sky mirror with the sunset, but the sky is foggy ☁️, so can not see the sunset, but the calm water will not change because of the weather, so although with a little regret 😔, but can still take some beautiful photos 🖼️. The day I set my own tripod to take pictures, I can take this kind of effect, I am satisfied 😄 This is the coast of Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku 🏖️, known as "Japan's Uyuni Salt Lake" 🏞️. Not only can you enjoy the sunset scenery, one of the "100 Best Sunsets in Japan", but also the natural ecological landscape after the tide recedes, thereby easily photographing the beautiful "Mirror of the Sky" 🌠 like Bolivia in South America. In 2018, a well-known Japanese travel magazine selected it as the 1st place in the "Sunset Scenery Ranking" 🏆. At the time when low tide and sunset overlap, you can watch and take pictures of the beautiful twilight mirror of the sky🌆. Because the accumulated water on the beach will reflect the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire screen you capture will be a golden fantastic scene🧡. If you meet the purple-red sunset, you can see the whole landscape becomes more magical and beautiful, so it is called the stunning scenery 🌺. Peripherals: Not only can you take pictures here, but you can also enjoy canoeing on the sea🛶, a coffee shop to taste local food☕, a great Guest House🏠 and a souvenir shop🏪! Tip1： To take great sunset photos, it is recommended to choose a calm and sunny day⛅ and come 30 minutes before sunset🕕. Tip2： It turns out that there is an uncle staff can help people take free photos 🆓, the day I took pictures myself to know, but in a hurry to leave did not find him, so we come to remember to grab uncle to take pictures, he will teach you to pose, and can have umbrellas provided as props 🌂, come here remember to seize the rare opportunity! Tip3： There are other worthwhile attractions nearby, you can plan to visit multiple attractions on the same day such as Takaya Shrine ⛩️, Purple Cloud Deshan 🏞️, and Piano Park 🌳.

If you go to Kagawa Prefecture, you should definitely go here!! Chichibugahama is a beach in Mitoyo City in the western part of Kagawa Prefecture. Take a bus from JR Takuma Station and get off at the "Chichibugahama" bus stop, about 20 minutes, and the beach is right there. When I went there last February, There were shaved ice shops, donut shops, coffee shops, and hamburger shops around the beach! So you can enjoy not only taking photos but also gourmet food♪ If you arrive just before the sun sets, you can enjoy the changing scenery🌅 There are volunteers on the beach who take photos for you, and you can take very beautiful photos by specifying various poses, which is great! 🙆✨✨ It's not easy to get to, but the view is really beautiful, so please visit it! !

The perfect destination for a #summerweekendtrip is here It was in Awashima, Kagawa Prefecture. Charter boat tour of the Seto Inland Sea islands Enjoy the sea, the mountains, and even gourmet food! Enjoyable for both children and adults! This island is the perfect fit for those words. The Seto Inland Sea has a history of pirates, castle towns, dark islands, and more. Enjoy an exciting boat trip while listening to lots of stories from the captain of the ship♩ I've posted more details about the ship in another post, so please take a look if you're interested! #KeihanGroupCampaign

[Exciting! Setouchi Island Hopping 🛥] On this day, we boarded a chartered boat from Awashima Island and set off on an island-hopping trip 💪✨ Feeling the pleasant sea breeze, the first place we headed for was the Great Seto Bridge The Great Seto Bridge seen up close from the boat is magnificent!! ! ... After that, we landed on #Honjima and took a stroll. The old castle town was still intact, with a history of shipwrights and a tour of the Yoshida residence, making it feel like we had traveled back in time. ... For lunch, we went to the island where the famous restaurant Isaribi is located, which is a favorite of captains and is also visited by celebrities. At Isaribi, the food just kept coming out, so much so that I thought, "I can't eat anymore!" lol I thought it was all over, so I put my chopsticks down, but there was still more coming out. Surprising!! ! All the food was delicious!! ! My first experience eating dancing octopus! I had a rare experience of grabbing and eating live shrimps♩ (I couldn't describe how the octopus moved with its mouth, so I screamed so much that everyone laughed at me...lol) ・・・ You can rent the boat for a day and visit many other islands, so you can enjoy your own island trip. You can swim in the sea along the way, and it's fun to go island hopping freely🥰 I highly recommend it if you go to Awashima again!

A town of Japanese paper that soothes the soul. "It feels as if time flows more slowly here." Nestled in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, Mino City is home to the culture of "Honmino Paper," which has been passed down for over a thousand years. The townscape exudes a nostalgic charm. 📜 Strolling through the "Udatsu" townscape, you'll encounter white-walled townhouses, soft light streaming through lattice windows, and the faint aroma of Japanese paper wafting through the air. This area has been designated as a National Important Preservation District for Traditional Buildings. One of the highlights is the Washi Akari Art Museum, where lights made from Honmino Paper create a magical ambiance. The gentle glow of these lights softly eases the fatigue of your journey. 🌙 Every October, the "Mino Washi Akari Art Exhibition" is held, transforming the nighttime townscape into a canvas of luminous art. The enchanting atmosphere feels like a scene from a movie. You can also try your hand at traditional papermaking or relax with tea at a townhouse café. It's the perfect place to visit when you want to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of daily life. ⸻ 📍【Mino City】 (Home of Mino Washi) Tokiwa Town, Mino City, Gifu Prefecture 🚃 About a 10-minute walk from Nagaragawa Railway "Mino City Station" (approximately 90 minutes from Nagoya Station) 🎟 Washi Akari Art Museum: Admission 300 yen ⸻ 🔖 Not just a tourist spot, but a place to travel as if you were living there. The light of Japanese paper teaches us the luxury of "quiet beauty."

Mt. Shiude in Kagawa gave me a breathtaking moment—sakura in full bloom cascading down the slopes, with the Seto Inland Sea glittering in the background. The view from the summit felt like a painting: pink blossoms melting into a sea of blue. As the breeze whispered through the petals, time stood still. It’s easily one of Japan’s most scenic secrets. #cherryblossom25
