Getting TO/AROUND: There are many ferries going from Hiroshima to Matsuyama, it's a convenient and relaxing method to travel. The ride takes about 3 hours and if the weather is fine, you'll probably get some nice views of the Inland Sea (The weather was not good when we went!). You can also take a faster ferry, but the price is much higher, it's about twice as much. Price for the "slow" ferry was 2700 Yen.

Getting TO/AROUND: From Matsuyama, we went to Kyoto by train. We had to change trains in Okayama, until there it is a normal train, the journey costs 1510 Yen. Trains in Japan are extremely clean, punctual and comfortable, and the journey along the northern coast of Shikoku is truly beautiful, you will see mountains, the Inland Sea, cities and villages with beautiful houses.
From Okayama to Kyoto, we took the Nozomi Super Express, the fastest train! It was so expensive, but definitely worth the experience, the train is supermodern - and superfast, of course! ;-)
