Kankakei 寒霞渓

Kankakei 寒霞渓 is located on Shoudoshima 小豆島, an 1-hour ferry ride north of Kagawa-ken 香川県 Takamatsu-shi 高松市. The island is famous for its olives, is the location of the famous fiction/movie Twenty-Four Eyes (Nijuushi no Hitomi) 二十四の瞳, and is the filming location of the 2014 live action movie Majo no Takkyuubin 魔女の宅急便.

Kankakei 寒霞渓 is one of the gorges in "The Three Beautiful Gorges in Japan" 日本三大渓谷美. It is famous for its Autumn red leaves. Unfortunately, I was 2 weeks late.

The nearest train station is Takamatsu station 高松駅 (AKA Sanuki Takamatsu Udon Station さぬき高松うどん駅) of JR Yosan Line 予讃線 (part of the Seto-oohashi Line 瀬戸大橋線) and Koutoku Line 高徳線.
