Well sports fans. I get a second chance to see Kochi United play today, this time away from home at FC Osaka at the Hanazono Rugby Stadium. My money is on a comfortable home win. What a lovely day for a bit of football.

Kyoto is insane. I’m going to have to escape tomorrow. It’s like being in Venice in the summer.

Well, I was sceptical about sand baths but after being buried alive in wet, hot and heavy volcanic sand for twenty minutes and left to sweat I think I get it.

I’m taking the ferry this morning across the Bungo Strait of the Setō Inland Sea between Shikoku and Kyushu this morning. I don’t remember P&O ferries between Dover and Calais being this nice.
This crossing takes around 3 hours and is ~£20 for a foot passenger in the very nice second class cabin.

The castle is pretty good too. But, even better than that, I caught sight on my way up to it of an Eagle Owl hunting a black kite which was terrifically exciting. Those are some big birds. Bigger than big, they’re large.

Got to see these amazing photographs in the tower of Uwajima castle today. They’re by Yugi Hamada and constructed entirely of shadows using RGB filters and stacked exposures which are then illuminated from below on the floor of castle. So good. They looked like they’d landed from another planet.

I might die on this bus. It’s stopping everywhere. In fact it just stopped somewhere which didn’t seem to be anywhere at all.
I was having an imagined conversation this morning in which I was stopped by the police who asked what I was doing here and I had no good answer and so I went to jail.

Today was a two onsen day. I’m so relaxed I might sleep for a week. Also the fish I’ve been eating in Shikoku has been incredible. Tonight’s Ryokan dinner was really excellent.
