Kotohira is a temple about 45 minutes southwest of Takamatsu. It’s famous because there are over 1000 steps to the top of the temple grounds. You can pay to have two guys carry you up, but there is so much to distract you while you’re stepping that it’s a pretty easy hike up and down. There were shops up to the halfway point and then a beautiful forest the rest of the way. Here were some people being carried up.
The temple…
The views…
At the bottom of the mountain, there was a sake brewery with a giant bottle of sake in the front. We didn’t have time to go through and sample, but we thought the giant bottle was pretty cool.
We ended the short, packed weekend with a lovely drive through the mountains in Kagawa and Tokushima Prefectures and a dip in a real onsen.
