Hiwasa, now called Minami-town is famous for tortoise spawning. The hotel I stayed last night has a name "Umigame-sou" meaning "Tortoise Hotel". Next to the hotel is a museum for tortoise. It was still seven, two hours before the opening time, so I left the small town heading to Tokushima city (徳島市). From Tokushima-city to Takamatsu (高松) was the same way as I drove this May. Setonai Sea (瀬戸内海), surrounded by islands, was silent and less impressive. I already missed the rough water of Pacific Ocean in Kochi. From Takamatsu I took a ferry back to Okayama. I said goodbye many times to Shikoku in my mind, on the ferry with viewing a sunset scenery of Takamatsu and a number of little islands.
In Okayama (岡山) I stayed at a capsule hotel. Because it was autumn vacation for university students, I met many young travelers there. One German traveler was searching a travel information of Kyoto from the next day. As a man who is from Kyoto, I made a 3-day sightseeing plan for him.
