== 2/14 Naoshima → Takamatsu ==

* Travel: Boat trip to Takamatsu (1-2h)
* Day: Exploring Naoshima
* Evening: Udon and Staying in Takamatsu

The last slow boat from the main Naoshima port to Takamatsu leaves at 17:00, costs ¥510, and takes ~1h. The last faster boat leaves at 19:25, takes 25 minutes, and costs ¥1200.

'''Takamatsu''' ([https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Takamatsu WV] | [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takamatsu WP]) is major port city in Shikoku and the udon capital of the planet. ''Gird your loins fellow travelers.''

[http://busshozan.com/ This public bath in Takamatsu] looks interesting.

There are many famous udon places but recommendations include:

* '''Tsurumaru''' (手打ちうどん 鶴丸), 古馬場町9-34 (About halfway between Kataharamachi Station and Kawaramachi Station on the road running along the Kotoden Line.)
* '''Kawafuku''' at 2-1 Daiku-machi 
* '''Waraya''' (91 Yashima-nakamachi, Yashima), a 19th-century farmhouse-turned udon-ya that's popular
* '''Ichidai''' (12-3 Nishinomaru-cho, Takamatsu), a bright, bustling lunch spot near the main train station

* Review: Tsurumaru was Mika's favorite. We also went to a bar in the arcade that had a few good uemshu. I took a picture of the menu.  

* Will stay at [http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Takamatsu-Century-Hotel/Kagawa-Pref-Takamatsu/76755 Takamatsu Century Hotel] (¥3000/night). Reserved.

* Review: There were 5 beds in one room. Not the cleanest but sufficient. There was internet in the lobby.
