Specifically at #Kotohira on the #CherryBlossoms2025 trip last year.

During which my Garmin SmartWatch got very excited on the climb UP the 1,368 stairs but completely robbed me and sulked on the way down. https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2025/04/09/cherry-blossoms-2025-day-12-wednesday-09-04-2025-kotohira/

°Was zu trinken° (kein Alkohol) ist unterwegs immer gern eine gute Tasse Kaffee!

Hier in einem ganz kleinen sehr netten Café, in dem gleichzeitig Produkte mit Katzen u.a. von @naoto_hidaka_ verkauft wurden.

This, alas, is NOT our next train… I suspect that our next train on the journey from
#Kotohira to #Matsuyama will be considerably more… mundane.

Apparently we’ll be changing trains in a little bit. #Kotohira (for now)

This is our first train for this morning. Yes, that’s ALL of it. 😂#kotohira

If you recall we travelled to #kotohira from #Takamatsu on a private rail line. The trip from Kotohira to #matsuyama is on JR

Rain this morning but the hotel (that we just checked OUT of mind you) is going to shuttle us to the train station. #Kotohira #CherryBlossoms2025

Checked out, bag dropped off for forwarding, waiting for the meetup time to head to #Matsuyama from #Kotohira. #CherryBlossoms2025

The wreckage that remains afterwards… #kaiseki #kotohira

Multiple other courses in this #kaiseki. I just commented to a lady next to me that the #kotohira #ryokan calls this room a **banquet hall** for a REASON.
