EARLY MORNING
Climb the stone steps
to Kotohira-gu;
The darkened shrine
feels steeped in mystery.
Not a soul around in the still morning.
Climbing all the stairs takes stamina.
At the end of the first stretch,
the first shrine building comes into view,
but you've still got a way to go to the top.
After one last push, you make it to the main shrine.

BEFORE LUNCH
The ubiquitous Kagawa favorite: udon.
In Kotohira, try your hand
at making it yourself.
Every shop along the shrine path holds new wonders to discover,
but there are more exciting things than just shopping;
a eye-catching sign pulls you in with the promise of "Udon School."
There's nothing better than working up an appetite by making your own lunch.
Roll up your sleeves and give it a try.
