Afternoon cruise leaving Shodoshima Island via Ferry

November 06, 2016 by Bryan Norris in Shikoku Region 四国

The fresh ocean breeze revitalizes the spirit while passing islands pass like ducks on a pond. The Shodoshima Island ferry carries automobiles and passengers to and from Shikoku Island. Standing on the upper deck alone, one may feel as he or she is on a ghost ship.

Faded colors of age Shodoshima Island

Shodoshima Island has much character to be discovered.  Just walking about near the port of Kusakabehonmachi area one can see very old restaurants and structures such as this billboard that has been faded by time.  How long ago was this sign erected and do these plaques even have relevance today.  This is another area of Japan that seems to be stuck in time and it's wonderful.

Takamatsu is a port city located in the Kagawa area on the island of Shikoku.  The fresh ocean air and its slow pace of life make it a great place to unwind.  Sanuki Udon is a very famous region specially dish that is highly recommended to try if you visit.
