Zenigata Sand Art in Kagawa Prefecture This sand art can be seen from the top of the mountain. It is very large, measuring 122m east to west, 90m north to south, and 345m in circumference. It is said that if you look at the sand art, you will live a long and healthy life and never have financial problems. The road up to the mountain is narrow, but it is a one-way street, so you can feel at ease as it is designed so that you don't have to worry about passing other cars. There is also a parking lot.

I went to the hot spring "Izumi Tenku no Yu Ariake Garden" in Ariake-cho, Tokyo ♨️ It's a fully-equipped facility with natural hot springs, saunas, bedrock baths, restaurants, and more ♪ It's attached to Ariake Garden, so you can refresh yourself after shopping ^_^ #hot springs

🇯🇵 [Kagawa Prefecture] Featured in the media! Ichinomiya Beach! (^^) The location is great, so it's also recommended as a walking spot (^^) We recommend clamming and mategai (shellfish) at the beach with the family (^^) Anyone can enjoy it casually during the season! The beach is shallow, so it's a popular spot for clamming, where even children can easily and safely collect shellfish! There are grassy areas, campsites, tennis courts, and more in the surrounding area, so many families visit during the summer vacation season. #EnjoyJapan

At Kotohiki Park, spring unveils a rare harmony—delicate cherry blossoms fluttering above the legendary Zenigata sand coin. The sight of soft pink petals framing this iconic symbol of good fortune was simply unforgettable. Strolling past blooming trees while catching glimpses of the massive sand sculpture below felt surreal, like walking through a living postcard. As the sun dipped low, golden light kissed the sakura petals and cast magical shadows across the sand art. It was more than a flower viewing—it was a moment of peace, prosperity, and poetic beauty only Kotohiki could offer. #cherryblossom25

I visited Takaya Shrine hoping to see the torii gate in the sky. However, I was so unprepared that I never expected to have such an experience. It's not enough to just visit a shrine and enjoy the beautiful view. To see this view, you need to climb a mountain. You have to climb a rocky mountain and then a steep stone staircase to finally see the torii gate in the sky. I had thought it would just be a short drive to the base and a short climb, but I was in for a rude awakening. However, I'm certainly glad I went. The view was amazing. #TakayaShrine

#MarchGoodDestinations2025 #2025 #Spring #JapanShikoku #Kagawa #Kannonji City The Pine on the Roots is a roadside attraction in Guanyin Temple City. Walking up a few steps from the road, you can see a large pine tree with many thick roots exposed (which actually look like tree trunks). The appearance is indeed quite peculiar. You can stop by to check it out when you come to Qintan Park/Guanyin Temple. Date of visit: 5 April 2025.

Near Kotohiki Park in Kanonji City, there are two temples from the "Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage" series—Jinne-in and Kannon-ji—located right next to each other. The main hall of Jinne-in has a unique concrete structure, while Kannon-ji features a traditional Japanese architectural style, creating an interesting contrast. Date of visit: April 5, 2025.

#MarchGoodDestinations2025 #2025 #Spring #JapanShikoku #Kagawa #Kannonji City Zenigata Sand Painting is located in Kotohiji Park near Ariakehama Beach and Kannonji Matsubara. It has a long history and has been maintained by caring people until now. You can reach the Zenigata Sand Painting Observation Deck on the top of the mountain by climbing up the narrow one-way road. You can see the complete sand painting from a high place, and it will be lit up at night. Date of visit: 5 April 2025.

Kotohiki Park is one of the popular cherry blossom viewing spots in Kagawa Prefecture and Kanonji City. The main cherry blossom area is a narrow zone between the entrance of Kotohiki Hachiman Shrine and Kanda River, where the cherry trees are densely packed. The scenery is enhanced by small bridges and flowing streams, creating a picturesque view. The park is about a 10-15 minute walk from JR Kanonji Station, and an additional 5-minute walk will take you to the Zenigata Sand Painting and Ariake Beach. Visit Date: April 5, 2025.

#MarchGoodDestinations2025 #2025 #Spring #JapanShikoku #Kagawa #Kannonji City Kannonji Station is located in the western part of Kagawa Prefecture. Although it is not the last station in Kagawa Prefecture, ordinary trains departing from Takamatsu usually have Kannonji Station as the terminal station. The Kagawa 2-Day Mini Ticket is only valid up to Kannonji Station. From here you can take a bus or walk to Kotohiki Park and Takaya Shrine, but the city bus service is sparse, and some buses stop running on Sundays, and the walking distance is quite far. Date of visit: 5 April 2025.

#Spring0yenTrip First, at Kannonji Temple, we went to see the famous coin-shaped sand painting "Kan'ei Tsūhō" at Kotohiki Park. Looking down from the observation deck, the huge sand painting appeared clearly, and I couldn't help but gasp at its scale. People who have seen it have said that it "will never be short of money," so it seemed to have some kind of good fortune. Next, we visited Kannonji Temple, the 69th temple of the 88 sacred places of Shikoku. There was a calm atmosphere typical of an ancient temple, and we took our time looking around the splendid main hall, Niomon Gate, bell tower, and more. This temple, which the town is named after, was a warm place where you could feel the faith of the local people.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Torii gate is located at the top of the Takaya Shrine at the northernmost end of Kannonji City. You must first go to the foot of Mt. Inazuma where the shrine is located, and then climb the 270 steps of the "Stairway to Heaven" to reach the sky torii gate at the top of the mountain. 🚗【Transportation】 1. Take JR or private railway to Kannonji Station, then take a taxi to Takaya Shrine Shimogu. There is an entrance to the mountain at the parking lot of Takaya Shrine Shimogu. 2. For those who drive by themselves, please navigate directly to the Lower Shrine of Takaya Shrine. In recent months, you cannot drive to the main shrine of Takaya Shrine because the road is closed. You can only go to the Lower Shrine and then walk. Takaya Shrine⛩️ Address: 2800 Takaya-cho, Kannonji City, Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku, Japan

1. The panoramic view from the "Torii Gate in the Sky" is amazing! ⛩️🌅 Takaya Shrine in Mitoyo City is famous as the "Torii Gate in the Sky"! From the torii gate at the top of the mountain, you can see the Seto Inland Sea and the cityscape of Mitoyo City. The orange-hued scenery at dusk is especially beautiful, like a scene from a movie...✨ 👉 If you go at sunrise or dusk, you will be able to see a breathtaking view! 2. Mysterious view from the top of the mountain that makes you feel like you're in Machu Picchu! 🏔️ When the view from Takaya Shrine is covered in mist, it's just like the Japanese version of Machu Picchu! The torii gate and cityscape that seem to float in the mountains create a mysterious atmosphere. It's sure to look great on Instagram📸👉 If you go early in the morning when the weather tends to be cloudy, you'll feel even more like Machu Picchu! 3. "The sense of accomplishment of climbing the stone steps is addictive!" 👣🔥 The stone steps leading up to the torii gate of Takaya Shrine are about 270 steps! It's a bit tough to climb, but the breathtaking view and sense of accomplishment you get when you reach the top are irresistible! 👉 Comfortable sneakers are a must!

If you take a deep breath after passing through the torii gate, you'll feel your heart calm down. 👉 If you pray quietly with your wish in your heart, the effect may be doubled...! 5. "There are hidden cafes and udon spots nearby!" 🍜☕ After praying, it's great to try Sanuki udon, a specialty of Mitoyo City, and visit local cafes! Especially at a cafe near Chichibugahama Beach, cafe time while looking at the sea is bliss ♡ 👉 The key is to go to popular udon restaurants early! The best time to go to Gamou Udon is right after it opens ◎ ➡️ Tips: ✅ A car is a must! Parking is limited, so go early in the morning ◎ ✅ Summer is hot, so spring or autumn is the best season! It's most beautiful at sunrise or sunset ✨ ✅ The road to the torii gate is narrow, so comfortable clothes and sneakers are a must! ✅ On the way back from Takaya Shrine, check out the sunset at Chichibugahama Beach! You might be able to take a picture of a reflection like the Uyuni Salt Flats 📸 Mitoyo City's "Japanese Machu Picchu" is a hidden spot where you can enjoy spectacular views, power spots, and local gourmet food! You're sure to encounter such breathtaking scenery that you'll think, "This is definitely the place for my next trip!" 🌿❤️ #DomesticTravelGuide #KagawaPrefecture #MitoyoCity #MachuPicchu #Japan #DomesticTravel

The "Zenigata Sunae" in Kagawa Prefecture is a sand painting that is inspired by old money.

Kotobiki in Kotobiki Park 👍🏻👍🏻 It is lit up in green every day from sunset to 10pm, and for a limited time it is lit up in gold and blue. And every spring and autumn, there is an event called "Sunasarae" where the sand painting is beautifully arranged, and several hundred people, mainly local citizens, participate in the "Sunasarae".
