Takamatsu #7

After lunch, we took the ferry to Tonosho (土庄).


Once there, we took a bus to see the narrowest natural strait in the world.


This is the Dofuchi Strait (土渕海峡).




There is a sign that shows that it is in the Guiness Book of Records. It is only 9.93m wide.


After that, we decided to talk a slow walk to Angel Road.


Saw some interesting sings along the way.


There is even a Slowpoke manhole over. Apparently, it is because it's Japanese name is Yadon, which is sounds a bit similar to Udon and Kagawa is famous for Udon.


As you get near, you will see signs like these.


As it was sill a bit early when we arrived, we decide to go up the small hill nearby.


There were many people on top, waiting for the the low tide.


On top is a bell for love.


When we were there it was super windy and hence cold! 


We waited for almost 1.5 hours and decided to leave as bus was scarce in the area and we wanted to head back to Takamatsu in time for early dinner, to avoid crowd.

As you can see, due to the strong wind and waves, Angel Road was taking longer that expected to appear. There were a few who braced the cold waters and crossed it, but we were both in long pants and didn't want to risk it in the cold waters and strong waves.


Look at how infrequent the buses are.


Anyhow, we were happy to just be able to see it, even though we didn't get to cross it.


For dinner, we went to this place called Toraya Kawaramachi (串かつ・焼鳥・釜めし 寅や 番外地), just opposite our hotel.



There we had the typical izakaya food, like yakitori, kushikatsu and of course, the Kagawa specialty, chicken!



Luckily, the place wasn't too crowded when we were there. There were only 2 other tables that were filled.


Food is not bad and I found this chicken a lot easier to eat than the one we had on the first day because we were provided with scissors to cut the chicken into smaller pieces.


Of course, we had to visit the lounge again after dinner! I am in love with their fish cakes! I was super happy when I saw the plate.
