Kagawa

I was back (briefly) in Marugame, Kagawa last week. I wrote about the nice castle there last year.

Beautiful sunset over the Port of Marugame as seen from my hotel.

On the way back to the airport, our car drove by Iino-yama (Mt. Iino), also know as Sanuki Fuji, for the shape resembles Mt. Fuji.

Although the shape is similar, it is only 421.9 m high (whereas the real Fuji is much higher - 3,776 m). Also, unlike the Fuji-yama which is a volcano, this one is a butte.

Here's another view of the same mountain from Kompira Shrine when I "climbed" there in July.
Yes, I did mean "climb" for to get to this shrine, one has to go up 785 steps of stairs.


As I left for home, could see the beautiful Inland Sea from the airplane window.
