I took a week's leave the other day and had a short domestic trip. I'm writing this article on Aug. 6th, but I'll arrange it in chronological order later.
First of all, the purpose was to visit the original house of my eldest daughter's fiance. If you can see the map, check my route. It must be enjoyable. The destination was Toyama City about 600 km from my house by air. I dropped in at several tourist attractions on the way and I'll post pictures of them.
My wife and I decided to use a ferry service from Toyo City to Osaka. Until a few years ago, a convenient ferry service was availabe between my hometown, Matsuyama City to Osaka, but now it has been abolished due to one of the stupid policies of the present government, DPJ. Everytime I recall this party and the prime minister, I feel fed up. Anyway, we couldn't use the port 15 minutes from my house and had to drive to Toyo City for an hour and a half.
The ferry company's website is here(link). Our ferry was "ORANGE 8". For your information, orange is one of the main products of my prefecture. As you see from pictures on the website, it was comfortable. Much to my regret, I forgot to take pictures inside the ship. I was busy having a bath and drinking beer,,,,
