The retirement of the old Meon and the arrival of its replacement are not the only things that are happening at Takamatsu Sunport at the moment. I knew it was coming, I was secretly hoping it wouldn’t (knowing it was totally unrealistic, but… you know… a man can hope…), but […]

Last week, I bid farewell to the old Meon, as you probably already know. I did it last week-end, because I knew I couldn’t be at Sunport today at noon when it actually left Takamatsu for the last time. My son had a year-end school event this morning, I obviously […]
Yesterday at noon, the old Meon came to Takamatsu for its farewell ceremony! It is being retired at the end of the week after almost 34 years of connecting Megijima and Ogijima to the rest of the world! Unfortunately, I missed the ceremony, but as I happened to be in […]
Saimyo-ji is a small relatively unknown temple in Shionoe, in the south of Takamatsu. Its only claim to fame is the fact that most of its grounds are covered with flowers called hagi (Wikipedia tells me that they’re called Japanese clovers in English). And that’s enough for the temple to […]

In my previous post, I told you about the Slowpoke manhole cover on Naoshima and the reason for it. If you’ve missed it, it’s near the end of the post, but really you should read all of it. Today, I’m showing you the Slowpoke manhole cover in Takamatsu. This […]
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 […]
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 […]
