Summer vacation 2011 - Marugame

After leaving Kotohira and Zentsuji, our next stop was at Marugame (丸亀), which contained one of the venues which was the reason for us to visit Shikoku in the first place. Marugame has her own little Mount Fuji, called Iinoyama (飯野山), also known as Sanuki Fuji (讃岐富士). What do you think, does it look a little like Mount Fuji?

Our first stop in Marugame was to climb up Marugame Castle. The little kid fell asleep in the car, and I ended up carrying him up the little hill that the castle was built on... it was quite a climb!

But it offered a great view of the Seto Inland Sea.

Next was the reason why we visited Shikoku. We wanted to eat Sanuki udon in Kagawa, which used to be called Sanuki. There was this long queue outside the shop "Nakamura" (なかむら) which we went to.


After 40 minutes, we finally managed to get into the shop, and dug into our own bowls of Sanuki udon.

After a delicious lunch, we took the Seto Ohashi (瀬戸大橋) and left for Okayama, our final stop on this summer vacation.
