Travel Diary on December 30, 2020

Today is the last day we eat breakfast at the hotel.
After checking out the hotel, we headed for Enai Station, instead of Kotohira Station. To tell you the truth, Enai is the nearest station to the hotel. But, we have never used, because of avoiding additional fare.

We boarded train to Kotohira, and went back to Enai direction again. That's because the train bound for Takamatsu-Chikko is the same train as the one that departs for Kotohira.(We bought 2 sheets of one day free pass, and then it's not fare evasion)
We headed for Takamatsu-Chikko. But, since we knew there are many trains in Busshozan Depot. We got off and took pictures of them.

Then, suitcase I was carrying was broken. So, we had to find out a courier service. That's why we decided to get off at Kawaramachi Station before arriving at Takamatsu-Chikko.

We left the baggage at a courier center, and tried to find Udon restaurant. Since Udon is the most famous souvenir in Takamatsu City, there are many Udon restaurants. Therefore, we weren't puzzled with finding out Udon restaurant.
After eating Udon, we went to Takamatsu-Chikko, which is the nearest station to Takamatsu Symbol Tower. Its observatory deck is the final destination of this trip. Unfortunately, we noticed that it was closed.

We had no choice but to go home by express bus.

The express bus we boarded from the station was affected by sudden weather. The driver told passengers that expressway above Akashi Straight was closed due to snow.
So, the driver of the bus decided to detour.
But, soon after the accident, he said "it was resumed, and then go ahead as scheduled.

We got off at Maiko Bus Stop.
