Not today, but about a year ago. If you don’t know it, Honen-ji is a pretty amazing temple in Takamatsu. It’s not very known and gets close to zero tourists, and it’s a good thing. Oh and, I don’t know if that’s still the case, but at least […]
Kagawa Prefecture
No, this is not how old is the picture below. This has nothing to do with me (I had never heard of the island 20 years ago, my first time hearing about it was 11 years ago, and my first time going, 10 years ago). Today is the anniversary of […]
A few days ago, tired of staying inside, but still needing to distance ourselves socially from other people, we thought od the perfect place for that. That is Nagasaki no Hana, in other terms, the northern tip of Yashima: Fun fact: this video was shot from the spot in […]
I took this picture yesterday, late in the afternoon. I thought you might like it. Apart from that, we’re now officially in lockdown for two weeks, but it’s not the kind of lockdown you may be experiencing in some countries at the moment. A lot of places are […]

This Straw Dragon is the main attraction of a summer matsuri in Higashikagawa. I have yet to go, and I promise I’ll tell you more about it when I finally make it there. Meanwhile, you can admire this one in Kagawa Plaza, a very interesting small permanent exhibit about […]
Just a quick post to wish you all a Merry Christmas (or whatever it is you’re celebrating this time of the year) from Kagawa Prefecture! In case you’re wondering, this is a picture taken last Fall at Chichibugahama (some people add “Beach” to the name but hama already means […]
Today, we’re staying in Takamatsu (again, yes, I know that’s three posts in a row!) as I will show you some of the artworks that were available in town during the Setouchi Triennale 2019. Unfortunately, they were all temporary installations and are all gone now. Still, I thought that you […]
