On the final day of travel, I visited Kotohira-gū Shrine, commonly nicknamed Konpira-san.
a view of mountains, such as Mt. Koneko, Mt. Neko, and Mt. Takamaru.
Taking about a 40-minute walk, I came to the main shrine. From there, it also has a nice view of Kotohira Town and Mt. Iino, also called "Sanuki Fuji" because it looks like Mt. Fuji.
After worship at the main shrine, I tried to walk to the inner shrine. The stairway to the inner shrine has 583 steps from the main shrine. It takes about 30 minutes on my foot.
Coming back to the bottom, I ate a bowl of udon noodles at a restaurant on the approach. I chose the one topped with shrimp tempura.
At first, I got tired until the main shrine. However, contrary to expectations, I could go to the inner shrine. It was hard, but it was fun to go up the stairway.
