Walking Takamatsu

Takamatsu is known locally as "convenient" because nothing is that far away. You can walk anywhere, or ride your bicycle, or take a train. I like wallking around Sunport, down the arcades, down the small streets and through the parks. Today, I ran into three friends.
Sometimes, I like to "go take a hike." It's good to get off the asphalt and into a woods. In Takamatsu, that convenience is Shiunzan- Mt.Shiun.
Mt. Shiun is the smaller of the Takamatsu Twin Peaks- Mt. Mine and Mt. Shiun. It's unpaved. It's not a wilderness, but the trees are unpruned, there are a　lot of insects, and it smells good. It takes less　than a 12 minute walk from either MacDonalds to get to the bottom of.
I always start at the Shintou shrine that's right next to the Ritsurin Kita Guchi J.R. Station.

　　　
　Walk up the stairs, take a right, and feel the temperature drop. You'll find a few different trails. I usually take the switchback trail to the top then walk the ridge. You won't get lost.
