決定去直島是有一點衝動的決定。

其實我並沒有特別喜歡安藤忠雄,但是在瀨戶內海的小島上蓋了一間現代美術館的這件事實在太有趣了,使我忍不住想要一探究竟。地點偏遠的這個障礙讓我興奮起來,畢竟hard to get to這種非基本觀光路線的特質是我很難抗拒的。

不過真的是花錢又花時間才能抵達的地方。先飛到關西機場,坐電車到新大阪,接著是新幹線到岡山,再換地方線到宇野港,最後搭渡輪到直島。

除了草間彌生的黃色大南瓜以外,這是我在島上最喜歡的地方。其實這不是什麼觀光點,只是旅館專屬的船塢,但是那一日天好藍,海水也好藍,天氣剛剛好,站在最前端的時候,真的是覺得海闊天空,舒服極了。

瓢亭 鶉がゆ

It started to snow soon after Kay and I settled in our seats.

This is definitely the best meal I had on my trip to Japan this past winter. Everything was delicately flavored, and the portion is just right. A perfect start for a Kyoto morning.

When we left 瓢亭, Kyoto had already turned into a silver white city.
