Located near Kawaramachi Station in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, this 'cave' entrance to BAR Tabi is hidden in an alley and blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Its unmarked, geometric entrance is not easily noticeable. Inside, the bar's intimate lighting, pebble-strewn paths, and bamboo decorations create an atmosphere that fuses traditional Japanese garden elements with a medieval cellar vibe, offering a blend of ancient and modern aesthetics.
The Royal Park Hotel Takamatsu, located in Kawaramachi, mirrors this seaside city's spirit. Its exterior is composed and understated, yet it houses an Art Deco soul within. The intersection of jazz spirit and Japanese thought creates Takamatsu's unique blend of understated luxury.
Hidden in Tamano City of Okayama Prefecture, near Uno Port, Sumi Habaki 炭ハバキ attracts every passing gourmet with its minimalist and unassuming exterior.
Arriving at Uno Port from Teshima Island, we reached our hotel by 6 PM after a day of island-hopping in the Setoichi Sea. Hungry for dinner, we found Uno Port quiet during the off-season compared to the bustling ART SETOUCHI period. Stumbling upon 'Sumi Habaki 炭ハバキ,' a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand recommended Yakitori restaurant, was a delightful surprise.
