Yoshiumicho Harbour Festival, Imabari—Shikoku's Charming Waterside

English

Stumbled upon a local harbour festival in Yoshiumicho, Imabari, and got greeted by this adorable mascot character! The December midday sun broke through the clouds beautifully, and watching boats bob in the background while people celebrated their connection to the sea — that's the real Shikoku magic right there.
