The other day (OK, it really was one and half years ago, when I just started working there, though the pictures are a bit more recent) I found something interesting on Kagawa University’s main campus. Check it out: Those long (5 story-high) tubes are full of rocks […]

I hadn’t been back to Honen-ji in quite a while, so I went a couple of weekends ago. Located in the Busshozan neighborhood, Honen-ji is one of the most beautiful temples in Takamatsu (possibly the most beautiful one), however it’s poorly known by the locals and pretty unknown by […]
After two months of absence, I finally returned to Ogijima four days ago. I was starting to think that I was cursed or something. Since my last visit back in February, every single Sunday, something prevented me from going; be it having to work (yes, it was that time of […]
When you’re on Naoshima, leaving the Benesse House Museum to walk down towards the beach, chances are you’re going to walk down these stairs: When doing so, don’t forget to check out the opening at the base of the wall on your left, you’ll find an artwork […]
If you’re ever in Marugame (one rarely ends up there by chance), I have this fun game for you: can you find these rainbow stairs?

I guess it’s time to return to Konpira-san after this pretty long hiatus. I was joking earlier that I wouldn’t be done before 2015, but if I don’t post about its ascension more often, that could actually happen, and we don’t want that, do we? First and foremost, as […]
I left you last month with Ōkyo Maruyama’s tigers, and while the temple where they’re located is a great place to stay, it’s time to resume our ascension of Konpira-san if we want to reach the top before 2015, don’t you think? First of all, if you’ve missed the […]
Last June, I started a virtual guided visit of Konpira-san (sometimes spelled Kompira-san, but the official name is Kotohira-gū), maybe it’s time to resume it, and hopefully finish it before 2015. 😉 In case you forgot or missed the beginning, make sure you read it before going any further: Konpira-san […]
I can’t really tell you much more about this Torii (and its impressive stairs) except for the fact that it’s located in Niihama in the Ehime Prefecture.
