Hotel Boukaiso

A reunion at the historic scenic spot, Yashima. Blessed with good weather, we enjoyed dinner while watching the sunset. The relaxing time spent at Yashimaru and Yashima Temple was delightful, and the visit to Shikoku Mura and Shikoku Mura Café made it a truly memorable reunion.

The final accommodation of the 4-night, 5-day Shikoku tour was in Kagawa Prefecture. I chose accommodations with varying styles, including hotels and ryokans. After researching recommended hotels and ryokans in Kagawa online, I made my decision. The view was spectacular, the room had a retro atmosphere and was spacious. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom and toilet were newly renovated. When I opened the window, I could see all the way to Takamatsu and even catch a glimpse of Shodoshima Island's silhouette. Looking down at the Seto Inland Sea dotted with small islands, I learned that this area was once a battleground for historical dramas like the Genpei War. The unexpected beauty left me deeply moved as I sat by the window enjoying coffee while gazing out at this historic scenery. Visiting Yashima—a place renowned in history—was truly worthwhile.I also visited a nearby shrine where historical figures from the Genpei War were depicted.The night view was exceptional as well; while enjoying bird sukiyaki (chicken hot pot), I found myself captivated by its beauty.The owners were thoughtful yet unobtrusive, allowing me to relax comfortably during my stay.Being so close to Osaka makes it easy to visit again—I definitely plan to return!
