Summer vacation 2011

This is a post to consolidate the various places visited during my summer vacation in Japan.

Here we were, at Shinagawa, ready to set off.

Of course, once we got onto the train, the kid decided to take a nap so that he can wake up at the destination fresh.

Hiroshima
Akiyoshi Caves
Hagi
Etajima
Dougo Onsen
Oozu
Kochi
Ooboke and Koboke
Kotohira
Marugame
Okayama

Total distance driven (from Dougo Osen till Okayama): 459.2km
(We went with a family friend from Hiroshima to Hagi and back, and he drove the whole way.)
8 days, 7 nights, 7 prefectures (Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Ehime, Kochi, Tokushima, Kagawa and Okayama) visited, although we only spent the night at 6 of them (stayed two nights in Hiroshima, and did not stay overnight at Tokushima).
4 castles visited (Oozu, Kochi, Marugame and Okayama). 5 castles if you count the remains of Hagi Castle. So this trip was like a trip to see castles, though the main reason was to eat Sanuki udon.
