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~

Seto Inland Sea
Surprisingly, there are 727 islands in the Seto Inland Sea. These islands lie between the Japanese main islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. Its mild climate and relaxing atmosphere often compare with Mediterranean islands. One of the best ways to enjoy the stunning islands in Seto Inland Sea is cycling on Shimanami Kaido which is a cycling trail that connects Ehime prefecture and Hiroshima prefecture.

From the gentle and artistic wind of the Seto Inland Sea
Naoshima, Teshima, Shodoshima are classic Seto Inland Sea island hopping routes. As a seasick patient, I finally plucked up the courage to walk once. The islands and the sea are beautiful, but I don't think I will go again. The pictures are a bit messy, because I can't remember which is which
【Hotel on the island】
The most impressive is the hotel GLAMPROOK Shimanimi in pictures 345. Located on the horse island in the Seto Inland Sea, the transportation is slightly inconvenient. You have to take a boat from the Ehime Prefecture Imabari Port in picture 6 to the hotel by water. If you take the land route, you will lose a bit of ceremonial sense, and it is not very convenient. However, this super niche hotel, dinner and breakfast are exceptionally delicious, and all kinds of wines are all put on the topic, it is a good place to empty yourself and feel the flow of time. Pictures 789 are the international hotel on Shodoshima, the room is facing the famous attraction Angel Road, besides this, there seems to be nothing special.
Although the islands are not far from each other, you can basically reach another island by boat in 1 hour. But the number of boats is not as many as trams, waiting for a boat is too time-consuming, it is better to live on the island and be a temporary islander. If you are really in a hurry, you can call a taxi boat, I haven't tried it, so I won't introduce it.
I jumped 4 islands this time, among which Shodoshima is the largest, and the other islands can be measured by foot. If you are not used to walking, you can rent a bicycle, facing the wind of the Seto Inland Sea, it is very romantic. In addition to this, there are buses and taxis, and the transportation on the island is generally convenient.
The reason why this classic route is classic is because of the strong artistic atmosphere. These islands are like the battlefield of various design masters. Every few steps is a baptism of art. Since there are many photos of these art galleries and shapes on the Internet, I won't put more. In addition to these art galleries, the cafes and restaurants on the island are also very interesting. I have experienced a few casually, and none of them have stepped on thunder. Here, the famous Seto Art Festival is held every once in a while. I will see if I want to slap myself in the face and come again next time

FISHFISH.
A long trip to the Seto Inland Sea in Japan. I have to go to Japan every year, and Tokyo is a must-see city. I still want to go to some niche places.
This time, choose Takamatsu flying from Tokyo, then take a boat trip to Takashimatsu every day to go to the island to play. Because of the super famous pumpkin, it was deliberately went to the Nagano. As a result, the yellow pumpkin was not seen in the maintenance. Only the red pumpkin was seen at the pier.
Toshima can ride a bicycle, along the beautiful coastline, really not too beautiful, free and comfortable, the air feels comfortable.
This is # yearning for life, every day is very pleasant.
