Day 16 - Takamatsu

Got up early to eat one last continental breakfast at the hotel in Himeji. They had different thing to eat today!

Afterwards, we packed and checked out.  We took a bullet train to Okayama before taking a rapid JR train, called Marine Liner, to Shikoku --> another island that houses four prefectures. 

The train was a double decker, where we were at the bottom. That meant that we weren't able to see all the sights as we went across the bridge that connected the main island, Honshu, to this island. 

As we arrived at the station, we went to our hotel to drop off our luggage. We soon set sail to Ritsurin Garden. It was very photogenic: a daimyo garden that is apparently one of the top 3 in Japan. I can see why. 

After spending a couple hours, we headed back to the hotel to check in. Unlike other hotels, our room was in a separate building. We got to our rooms, which were in different floors since we got a Japanese style room while my brother and my friend got a western style room. A great thing about our room is the amount of space. It kinda reminded me of Kawaguchiko Inn last year. 

After napping for a bit, we headed out for dinner. We ventured to the shopping arcades and found ourselves a place that served the specialty udon of our city: Saniku Udon. It had a thicker texture in general compared to other types of udon. 

After wondering around the shopping arcades, we headed back to our hotel. 

And that's day 15!
