A morning with a forecast high of 25°C and crystal-clear skies.

I’m taking it slow, heading toward the Shikoku Karst, which sits at an elevation of over 1,400 meters.

Avoiding highways as much as possible, I ride at a leisurely pace, tracing the coastline.

Feeling the breeze, enjoying a moment unbound by time.

On the way, I stop by a shop owned by a fellow touring enthusiast.

The daily lunch special, featuring seasonal ingredients, is a dish I would recommend without hesitation.

The meal disappears quickly, and the conversation flows just as easily.

Once satisfied, I head back out on the road.

Beneath the blue sky and white clouds, onto the pleasantly winding road ahead—.

A peaceful moment of solitude, gently slipping away from the everyday routine.
