The Great Seto Bridge and Sanuki Udon.

I am a great fun of Sanuki Udon since I had a real Udon in Kagawa Pref.

Sanuki is a region name in Kagawa.

There are so many Udon restaurants and they serve a great Udon at a low price!

For small dish of Udon is only 250yen. Actually, small dish is not so small. See the picture as bellow. This is small size. Do you think it is small?



One more travel tips!

We drove on the highway for 2.5 hours to get Kagawa Pref.
There is a big bridge, called "Seto ohashi" between Okayama and Kagawa Pref.



At 13.1 km long, it ranks as the world's longest two-tiered bridge system.


The bridges carry two lanes of highway traffic in each direction on the upper deck and one railway track in each direction (Seto-Ōhashi Line) on the lower deck.


You will see the Seto Inland sea and lots of lovely small Islands from the bridge!


Especially night time...the view from a parking area was soooo beautiful!!


If you have got a Japan Rail Pass, you can get the train for free from Okayama Station to Kagawa Pref.


If you would visit Kagawa, please taste a great Sanuki Udon!!
