The view was magnificent from the top of Washuzan looking out over the Seto Ohashi Bridges. This guy had the best spot perched on the very top. Seems like he was contemplating something as he looked out.Photo dataCameraNikon D700Focal length50mmAperturef/2.2Shutter1/5000sISO200Taken28 Sep 2010, 14:58

    My God that's an amazing view! It's photos of places like this that keep bringing me back to Japan.

    Shikoku is a beautiful place. This photo set is just the beginning :)

    Enough to make us crave for more! The spot is really inspiring, full flavour. I can't imagine how beautiful it must be to live in the area, for kids to go to some island and have fun in the hot afternoons in the water, with barbecues in the evenings... Movie like.

    hi, would it be better to alight after crossing the seto bridge i.e utazu instead of taking the train all the way to takamatsu? i'm coming from okayama and wish to go to mt wushuzan. what is the best choice. will i be missing anything forgoing takamatsu? i'll be visiting japan in dec, hope the scene will remain the same except for bare trees i suppose?
