This video is also the second day of my three-day trip in Kagawa.
Kotohiragu Shrine has 785 steps up to the Main Shrine, so please take care if you’re concerned about the climb.
It looks like there are also places where you can rent a walking stick.
Within the shrine grounds, you can also visit the Treasure Museum and the Omote Shoin(Reception Hall), where important cultural properties are displayed. They’re well worth a visit.
The area is accessible by train or bus from several directions, and limousine buses also operate from Takamatsu Airport.
*Most of the restaurants shown in the video were closed, which was probably due to it being right after Japan’s spring holiday week.
