We awoke
in Takamatsu, which is on the island of Shikoku, the smallest of
Japan's four main islands. |
||||
The Samurai
welcome was not as friendly as we'd had before! |
||||
 |
 |
|||
Our first
stop today was at the Ritsurin Garden. We loved it. |
||||
Black
pine, carefully pruned. |

Our second
visit was here. |
||||
 |
||||
 |
||||
We were
underwhelmed. |
||||
 |
||||
Our final
visit for today was at the Shikoku Village - an open air museum
of Japanese buildings. Yes, I know. |

Bruce
braved the rope bridge at the Shikoku Village. Geoff took a photo
of him instead! |
