[2025 Takamatsu Attraction] Travel Guide for Mt. Yashima (Updated Mar)

Last November, when we arrived in Takamatsu, our first stop was Yashima. At the Shishi-no-Reigan Observatory, we overlooked Takamatsu City and the Seto Inland Sea. By the time we reached the mountain, it was already dark. Our family of four groped through Yashima Temple, one of the 88 sacred sites of Shikoku, and were greeted by a stunning night view! Takamatsu may not be considered a big city by Hong Kong standards, but its flat urban landscape creates a unique and breathtaking night scene. From the heights, looking down at the tranquil city, the photo-like view was deeply etched in our minds. On the first day of our trip, our family fell in love with this place. But the surprises of Yashima go beyond the night scenery. Next to the observatory is the Yashima Mountain Exchange Center, a masterpiece of architecture completed in 2022. This curved viewing corridor seems to compete with the romantic night scenery in terms of architectural aesthetics, making it hard to decide where to focus your gaze. Adding to the beauty are the outdoor maple leaves. The night maples, paired with the distant city lights, rival the famous maple viewing spots like Kankakei and Ritsurin Garden. The city's nightscape, the red maples, and the architectural beauty complement each other, creating a chorus of exclamations on Yashima Mountain. To create an unforgettable spot, some regrets are inevitable. Unfortunately, we went up the mountain at night and couldn't enjoy the sunset from the west-facing observatory. If we could have seen the sunset with the evening glow, accompanied by the gradually falling night, it would have been unimaginably beautiful and awe-inspiring.

第33天： On April 3, 2024, I made a vow at the First Reiyama Temple and walked with Kobo Daishi. It took 30 days and nearly 2,000 kilometers to visit 88 spiritual places + 20 Bege spiritual places map will plan the daily itinerary and accommodation to visit the shrine. The night before, make slight adjustments according to the next day's weather, physical condition, riding distance, rest stops... and many other factors. Every day's journey is unfolding in the plan. I keep meeting people on the road, and then keep saying goodbye to people, whether it is hiking, riding or driving, walking or driving, everyone takes a different route, but the destination is the same. After the end of the day's worship trip, comfortable accommodation and food can make me forget the fatigue of the day, soak in hot water and have a good night's rest. Tomorrow is a new beginning. Everyone comes for various reasons, to seek spiritual enlightenment, to get rid of repetitive daily life, life has reached a fork in the road, want to have a mental conversation with themselves, hope to experience the natural beauty of the countryside of Shikoku at a slower speed through a step-by-step journey with both feet. Whatever the reason, most people who travel to Panpai agree that this is a journey that changes their life experiences and thoughts. No matter what you want to pursue on your journey, I believe that the journey can provide what you hope for at the end of the pilgrimage. Thank you to all the people who have given me help and blessings along the way. Private たちの生活を助けてくれた,全ての生き物の霊にThanksを.

💮Shikoku, Japan is divided into Kagawa Prefecture, Tokushima Prefecture, Kochi Prefecture, and Ehime Prefecture. It is also the location of Japan's famous "Eighty-eight Temples". This trip to Shikoku chose Takamatsu city because Takamatsu is not only the transportation hub of Shikoku, but also has many attractions. Here are the last twenty-two temples of the eighty-eight temples, famous attractions in Kagawa: Kotohira-gu, Ritsurin Garden, Shikoku Village are all close to Takamatsu. Although Iya Valley is a bit far, it is a very worthwhile secret place to go in summer. The transportation of Yashima (Figure 3️⃣), Marugame, Kotohira, Zentsuji near Takamatsu is very convenient. 💮We stayed near Ritsurin Garden this time, most of these photos are some street views near the park. .
