KAGAWA Prefecture and KOBEaccess
I didn't expect COVID-19 to be serious as of January 2020.
I bought an Air-Ticket to KOBE departing for Promotional price(2370yen)...But the flight was canceled.
The ticket was free to change the date and time, and I changed the date on weekends.
So I decided to go to KOBE and then take a ferry to SHIKOKU.

TRAVEL STORY
I arrived in KOBE Airport at 21:00.
I checked the departure time and decided to spend in Central KOBE(SANNOMIYA) until the departure time.
There was also a “view point” near the FERRY TERMINAL.
And I go to Central KOBE(SANNOMIYA STATION).
But...Suddenly heavy rain...It was no exaggeration to say that it was 嵐(ARASHI:STORM)Arashi.
I thank “Escape to an IZAKAYA-Restraunt somewhere...”
Between the ferry terminal and train station, there was no IZAKAYA-Restraunt in the high-rise area.
I continued walking in the heavy rain, arrived near Hankyu Sannomiya Station,
and immediately ran into the izakaya.
I left the restaurant at 24:00(closing time).
At that time, it was raining lightly...
We can reach the ferry terminal from the train station by going straight on Flower Road.
If it stopped raining, I could return to SANNOMIYA FERRY TERMINAL in about 20 minutes.
And I was buying a ticket to TAKAMATSU.
Ticket fee is 2,900yen(Including midnight and weekend fees / Weekdays and Daytime price is 2,000yen.)
I got into the ship and was surprised...Because this ship was more luxurious
than I imagined
I take a nap on board...Sleep on the floor with some people keeping our social distance...!?
The ferry arrived in Takamatsu at 5:00 am four hours later.
This ferry arrives at TAKAMATSU EAST PORT.
TAKAMATSU EAST PORT is a little far from the centeral TAKAMATSU.
And there is a free shuttle bus to the train station...I used this ree shuttle bus.
TAKAMATSU(KAGAWA Pref.) is a famous UDON town(area).
Of course I wanted to eat UDON...However, there is no udon restaurant that is open from early morning.
Even the early restaurants were open from 6:00.
In such a situation,One UDON restaurant that my friend frequently uploads on Instagram opened at 6 o'clock.
This restaurant name is UDON BAKA ICHIDAI...I went to it.
Along the way, I will pass through TAKAMATSU's main street
It takes about 45 minutes to reach UDON BAKA ICHIDAI from train station.
I order “KAMA Butter UDON” that my friends often upload to Instagram.
I ordered middle size(中/CHYU) and it was 590yen.
It was very delicious with a carbonara image.
But It was a little heavy for me...hahaha...
KAKE-UDON(Nomal style UDON) may be a good choice in the early morning!?
There was a local train station(KOTODEN) near this restaurant, so
I will use it to return to Takamatsu station(KOTODEN-Takamatsu-Chikko-Station).
There was a the ruin of Takamatsu castle(TMAMO-PARK) between Takamatsu-Chikko-station(KOTODEN) and Takamatsu station(JR)
However, I went to Takamatsu Station without drotopping in the ruin of Takamatsu castle(TMAMO-PARK).
I got off at MARUGAME.
I have visited MARUGAME twice.
However, I didn't go to Marugame Castle two times either.
So I went to Marugame Castle for the first time
It seems that the height of Stone-Wall in Marugame Castle in Japan.
To be sure, it was a steep slope to reach the summit...
Actually there are 12 oliginal castles that remain in Japan.
Marugame Castle is one of 12 oliginal castles.
I went to EHIME prefecture from Marugame station via Utazu station
