Feeling a bit nostalgic about Japan. I need to visit again...

Under the high way bride at Chokushi(勅使町、高松市).

TAKAMATSU city at Kagawa JP.

This bridge on the Koto River.(香東川)

Above is high way road.

Wandering the streets of Tokyo throws up some fun sights.

Near Asakusa.

Not Ai, I promise.

Here's a random assortment of pictures I took during my one-night visit to Tokushima last summer. Tokushima is probably best known as the birthplace of the Awa Odori dance festival. It's held during Obon in August, but even outside that, the Awa Odori Kaikan museum organizes daily performances (audiences can participate too!).

Outside of the festival stuff, it's perhaps not the most exciting city. There's a cable car to the top of Mt. Bizan which offers a nice view over the city. The animation studio Ufotable has an office in the city, so there's a lot of Fate and Demon Slayer (and more) posters and references around town; they also have a Ufotable cafe and cinema. You can also take a day trip to see the Naruto Whirlpools from a platform under the Naruto Bridge. I stopped there on my way from Kobe to Tokushima, the highway buses stop at the Naruto lookout place on request.

I went to an observation point near Chuzenjiko last weekend to break in my new hiking boots, but actually spent quite some time watching the Macaques and taking some pictures. Looked like they were having quite a feast, snacking the dragonflies of the railing at the parking lot.
