The stomach grumbles - I
Wait! Where's the food pictures of the sushi, ramen and tempura? Yes, those are things that I enjoy as well but here are 5 meals that I enjoyed while in Matsuyama. Some are Japanese and some are not. You can also find great food if you know where to look

I just wanted to separate this post from the original Dogo Onsen post as it was getting a little long. The area is like a mini onsen resort town as there are hotels, restaurants and souvenir stores for those staying in the area.

Tackling Miyakojima - I
My first day was really only a half day. I arrived just before noon from Tokyo, needed to sort out my rental car and check out where my hotel is located. After that, I needed to get some food and checked out Nishihennazaki, Ikema Island (‘Heart Rock’) and Sunset Beach. I especially wanted to go to Sunset Beach to create a time lapse video of the sunset as the conditions were perfect today.
