新居濱 → 觀音寺 → 高松｜全程120公里｜爬升1010公尺
十月的四國進入深秋，空氣涼爽，天色轉短。今天的行程從新居濱出發，途經觀音寺，最終抵達香川縣首府——高松市。全日騎行120公里，是整趟旅程中最具挑戰的一天。為了趕在五點前天黑前抵達，大家清晨六點半準時進餐、七點十五整裝出發，展開這段漫長卻充滿期待的征程。
清晨的窗外仍是濕漉漉的，昨夜的雨氣未散。然而剛開始騎行不久，雲層竟慢慢裂開，陽光穿透山巒、灑在路上。那一刻，所有人都感受到天氣的轉變如同鼓勵——「加油吧，這會是美好的一天。」
離開新居濱市區後，車隊沿著瀨戶內海方向一路向西。當我們進入四國中央市時，那片被雨霧籠罩多日的海終於現身。雖然遠處仍有薄霧，但海岸線的輪廓逐漸清晰，像被掀起面紗的少女，靜靜地微笑。
爬上今日第一座山後，回望舊土居町，陽光照在金黃稻浪上，雲層低壓，畫面如詩。這片土地的秋天，有著淡淡稻香與溫柔光影。
當車隊進入觀音寺市，瀨戶內海終於完全展露真容。天空是透亮的藍，海是細緻的藍，雲白如絮，遠處島嶼錯落浮動。即使我們來自四面環海的台灣，仍不禁讚嘆：「原來海，也能這樣柔和地閃光。」
大家紛紛停車拍照，卻怎麼拍都不如眼睛所見來得震撼。有人笑說：「最好的相機，是眼睛；最好的底片，是記憶。」那份靜謐與光影交錯的美，只能留存在心中。
午後的陽光陪伴我們一路進入【香川縣】。香川位於四國東北部，由南部的贊岐山地、北部的贊岐平原，以及以小豆島為主的瀨戶內海群島構成，共有大小一百多座島嶼。贊岐山地連綿起伏，以海拔1060公尺的龍王山為最高峰，層巒疊翠、山勢綿延，是香川的天然屏障。
終點【高松市】位於香川縣北部，面向瀨戶內海，是四國的交通門戶與文化中心。從高松車站可通往四國各地，而高松港更有渡輪通往瀨戶內海的群島。這座城市以「屋島」與「國分台」等名勝聞名，能遠眺瀨戶內海島嶼的壯闊景致。當我們踏入這座城市，燈光與海風迎接著滿身鹽霧與汗水的騎士們，那一刻，辛苦全都化為滿足。
120公里、1010公尺的爬升，我們每一步都靠雙腿與意志完成。雖然疲憊，但到達終點的那份成就與幸福，正是旅程最甜的果實。
🚴♂️ 2025.10.05 Japan Shikoku Island Round Cycling Certification 12 Days + Shimanami Kaido D3｜Niihama → Kanonji → Takamatsu｜120 km｜Elevation Gain: 1,010 m
Autumn has fully arrived in Shikoku. The air is cool, the daylight short, and today’s 120 km ride—from Niihama through Kanonji to the capital city of Kagawa, Takamatsu—is one of the toughest stages of the tour. To reach our destination before nightfall, everyone gathered for breakfast as soon as the restaurant opened at 6:30 a.m., and by 7:15 we were ready to roll—bags packed, helmets fastened, energy high.
When we drew open the curtains that morning, the world outside was still damp from the previous night’s rain. But not long after setting out, the clouds began to part, and sunlight streamed through the mountains, glimmering across the asphalt. It felt like the sky was cheering us on—“Keep going, today will be beautiful.”
Leaving Niihama, the group pedaled westward along the coast toward the Seto Inland Sea. As we entered Shikokuchuo City, the sea—hidden for days behind mist and rain—finally appeared, faint but visible. Climbing the first hill of the day rewarded us with a breathtaking view: golden rice fields shimmering under soft sunlight, low clouds hugging the hills, the gentle beauty of an autumn morning in Shikoku.
By the time we reached Kanonji, the Seto Inland Sea revealed its true splendor. The sky was a deep, transparent blue, the sea a silken shade of azure, dotted with white clouds and green islands floating quietly in the distance. Even for those of us from Taiwan—an island surrounded by seas in every direction—this view felt new, tender, and mesmerizing.
Riders stopped for photos, but none of our cameras could truly capture it. Someone smiled and said, “The best camera is your eyes; the best film is your memory.” Indeed, some beauty can only be felt, not recorded.
In the afternoon, we crossed into Kagawa Prefecture, located in northeastern Shikoku. The region is composed of three distinct parts: the Sanuki Mountains in the south, the Sanuki Plain in the north, and over 110 islands in the Seto Inland Sea, with Shodoshima being the largest. The Sanuki Mountains stretch in gentle waves, crowned by Mt. Ryuo at 1,060 meters—the highest peak in Kagawa—forming the prefecture’s natural backbone.
Our destination, Takamatsu City, lies on the northern coast of Kagawa, facing the Seto Inland Sea. Known as the “Gateway to Shikoku,” Takamatsu serves as the region’s transportation, cultural, and economic hub. From Takamatsu Station, railways connect to all corners of Shikoku, while ferries depart from Takamatsu Port to nearby islands. The city is home to renowned scenic spots such as Yashima and Kokubundai, both offering sweeping views of the island-dotted sea.
As we rolled into Takamatsu at dusk, the glow of city lights and the scent of sea breeze greeted our weary yet joyful team. The 120 km and 1,010 meters of climbing behind us weren’t just a test of endurance—they were the price of pure happiness. After all, only through effort and persistence can one taste the sweetness of arrival.
