Spring

Mt. Shiudeyama, located on the Shonai Peninsula in Mitoyo City, is one of Kagawa's best spectacular spots offering a 360-degree view of the Seto Inland Sea archipelago. Especially in spring, about 1,000 cherry trees dye the summit pink, and the contrast with the blue sea is breathtakingly beautiful, having been introduced in the New York Times as a "place to go in the world." You can enjoy seasonal expressions like hydrangeas in early summer and sunset views in the clear air of winter. Near the summit, there is an archaeological museum of a Yayoi-period high-altitude settlement, adding historical depth. This place, where you can simultaneously feel the vitality of nature and the expanse of the calm sea, is an essential sanctuary for travelers who want to release their mind and body and capture the best photo of their trip.
