Kyosuke and I went away for the weekend to Takamatsu which is in Shikoku – the island below where I live. We borrowed his Mum's car and drove over the longest suspension bridge in the world to Awaji Island and then drove over another bridge to reach Shikoku. We then headed up Yashima mountain to see the view at sunset and we also saw Yashimaji which is temple number 84 on the temple circuit of Shikoku. We stayed at a hotel near the station. The next day we went to Shikoku-mura which is a large park that contains many different types of houses and buildings from all over Shikoku and the neighbouring islands. There is even a vine suspension bridge just like the one in the Iya Valley except it is a lot smaller and closer to the river! Before leaving Takamatsu we ate sanuki udon which was delicious. I got to drive for the first time in Japan on the way home!
