Ehime | Avoid the crowd, a must-visit niche place in Japan
When it comes to Ehime, the first thing that comes to mind is its specialty oranges. This late autumn, NANA came to Ehime in Shikoku for fun, and didn't expect it to be so much fun, lingering and forgetting to return~
Ehime is located in the northwest of Shikoku, close to the Seto Inland Sea, where you can island-hop; there are various ancient castles, full of Japanese atmosphere; it is also the shooting location of 'Tokyo Love Story'; there is also the same station as the popular Spirited Away; there are also many foods, such as sea bream mixed rice, fried chicken; and a hot spring experience, perfect~
Quickly make a guide, I hope it can help you who want to play in Japan~

The boat swayed gently, while watching the strong shuttle through the water, while watching the Japanese-style castle continent city, the beautiful villa Wolong Villa from the boat slowly came into view. In Japan, only three places can see the fishing of the dragonflies, which are in the river Nagagawa, Oita Yusaka, and the river of Aiyu.
Kagawa Prefecture is located in the northeast of Shiguo Island in southwest Japan, and is the smallest county in the area of Shiguo Island. Don't look at the small Kagawa Prefecture, there are many ways to play, Takamatsu, Seto Inner Sea islets, each place is worth it. Tired of the bustling big cities of Japan, it is better to come here to experience the slow life of the small city!
Very good place, worth a visit, very good very good
Xiaodou Island seems to be the largest island in the sea of Seto, so you still have to rely on the bus! After checking in at the Xiaodou Island International Hotel, I bought a bus day ticket at the hotel, 1000yen, originally planned to go to the Olive Park + Soy sauce Memorial Hall, so 1000yen is worth the fare. As a result, we went crazy in Olive Park, considering that we had to eat the hotel reservation dinner at night, the soy sauce factory must not go that day, and we plan to go again the next day. The soy sauce factory that bought the ticket directly the next day, the plan could not keep up with the change, so it was the hard truth to not do any guides before the trip~~~ The one-day tour ticket is not suitable for people like us who are free to wander~ Haha~‼️ ps There are still quite a lot of tourists during the art festival. We had to return to the hotel from Olive Park on the first day, the bus couldn't get on at all, the driver told us there would be another bus later...so two buses would appear at the same time! Later, I also encountered such a situation in Takamatsu, so I really love to travel to Japan, as long as I follow the timetable and I am not afraid of getting on the bus, there are seats to sit, and I look at the scenery and return to the hotel.
The beautiful scenery of the Inland Sea of Seto has been seen in many video and print media. After a long time of longing, I finally arranged a trip across the Inland Sea of Seto between Hiroshima and Matsuyama of Shikoku on a trip to Western Japan. With the ships leaving the harbor and leaving Wugang, they enter the true blue main waterway. Except for the blue sky and the white clouds, they are the solemn sea water. Occasionally, they see the islands floating in the distance. During the course of the voyage without seeing the land, I stared at the sea for a long time, even occasionally with some illusion, as if the ferry was not sailing, but floating in a still blue pond. At this time, it seems that time has stopped.
Looking back on 2019, I came to Japan three times, the ice and snowy Hokkaido, the warm Okinawa in winter, and the small and fresh Seto Inland Sea are my love. Japan has such magic, and it has attracted one trip to Japan after another since the graduation trip in 2013. Come to Seto Inland Sea with your girlfriends, blow the summer wind, feel the Japanese favorite summer, and start the holiday mode here~
