First trip to Takamatsu

The day before my trip...
I had a lot to do, but I hated work so much,
I just hastily booked my flight and hotel the day before,

and left without any preparations...

I arrived in Takamatsu, half excited and half worried...

I went through immigration at the airport and tried to pick up my bag...

Someone accidentally stole my suitcase,

and I felt like I'd ruined the start of my trip.

I trudged on the airport bus,

and arrived at Hotel Wing International Takamatsu near Kawaramachi Station!

I tried to check in an hour early...

Huh???

Early check-in was complete,
with a notice that the drinks bar and amenities were free!

Feeling good about Kibuni again,
I arrived at "Mahoroba," a nearby home-style restaurant!

I had a delicious lunch. (Note that there's absolutely no ventilation.)
Then, I visited the famous nearby cafe, "Vitamin Coffee."
Then, in the evening, I took a bus to the Symbol Tower, a free night view course.
After admiring the night view from the top,
and waiting for 40 minutes at the nearby udon restaurant, "Honkakuteuchi Moriya,"

I finished my meal and walked back to my hotel with an umbrella.
(Actually, the hotel was close to the station and right in the middle of Takamatsu's major tourist attractions, so it was only a 20-minute walk.)
After arriving at the hotel, I enjoyed a refreshing cold tea from the free beverage bar.

I grabbed the complimentary bath bombs and headed to my room.
I slept off my fatigue from the day.
And on the second day...
I had a coffee set and an additional coffee at "Minami Coffee," a cafe near my hotel that's long been a local favorite for its breakfast (toast and coffee).
However, I was a little disappointed that the coffee beans didn't quite match my expectations. Afterwards, I returned to the hotel and took another half-body bath.
I stopped by a nearby udon restaurant for lunch.
I stopped by Lupicia, famous for its tea leaves, and went on a shopping spree.
On the way back, I went on another half-body bath at a drugstore.
Next, I hopped on the hotel's complimentary bicycle and took a spin around Ritsurin Garden.
I was amazed that there wasn't even a hint of a fishy smell.
I came back and had another cup of coffee at the nearby "Vitamin Coffee" and returned the bicycle to the hotel.
I also bought two dumplings and a cucumber salad (perhaps a side dish) at "Gyozanya," a famous dumpling restaurant near the hotel.
I ate them with a complimentary drink at the hotel restaurant.
And then I took another half-body bath... (four times over two nights and three days.)
On my last day, I had breakfast at the hotel, had gelato at a nearby gelato shop, had a smoky coffee at Ripple Coffee near the station, and browsed at the toy shop "Matsuya Toys."
I returned to the hotel, picked up my luggage, and headed to the airport.

It was a really short trip... I paid for it the afternoon before, but...

It was a fun and happy time.

(And it cost a lot of money... ㅠㅠ)

I plan to come back sometime with my parents.
