Setouchi: the Seto Inland Sea, its islands and coastal areas.
Ogijima in a Manga
This post will mostly talk about Battle Royale. You may find it interesting, or completely boring. I hope it will be the former. If you don’t know it yet – which would be a shame – Battle Royale is a “multi media” story that takes place...
Oshima-ya, Wakame Udon Restaurant in Takamatsu
Today, I’m going to tell you about what is my favorite udon restaurant in Takamatsu and just one of my favorite restaurants in town overall. It’s called Oshima-ya and their specialty is wakame udon! And by wakame udon, I do not mean regular udon with...

Kasashima Street on Honjima
Kasashima is one of the most beautiful villages of the Seto Inland Sea in my opinion. It is located on the east coast of Honjima and it’s quite tiny. No more than a handful of people live there full-time, but most of its houses...
