8.50-9.10 AM, common room of Sen Guesthouse, Matsuyama.



We only had one day in Matsuyama (national holiday = no available accommodation), and therefore carried on being active. Our quick breakfast before taking a bath at the famous Dogo Onsen included:

  • oat meal porridge with cinnamon, sugar, strawberry jam and banana
  • salted nuts
  • 2 mandarins
  • 1 strawberry-flavoured yogurt
  • 1 blueberry-flavoured yogurt
  • 2 chocolate cookies
  • green tea
  • Kumamon “drink”

The Kumamon drink was sold in a mysterious box. On the ferry from Beppu to Yawatahama Mikko found an interesting box with the Kumamon bear surrounded by oranges on the label. It very much resembled a box of orange candies, and so Mikko bought it for Elina as an anniversary present. However, once Elina opened the box she did not find candies but 3 small bags. After superficially researching the bags, we concluded that they must include drink powder, that should be mixed with water. This morning we tried the mix,but the result tasted quite suspicious. All confused, we showed our mysterious box to the owner of the hostel who revealed us that powder the bags included was actually bath salt. With this knowledge, the text “200L, 25g” written on the back of the box finally made sense.


After travelling 2,5 months together, we decided it was time to travel separately for a while. However, the national holiday continued to guide our ways: all reasonably priced accommodation was sold out everywhere else except rural Shikoku, and thus we both ended up there...
