Ukan in Takahashi City, Okayama

I teach at schools in the Ukan area and I must admit before moving to Takahashi from neighboring Niimi, I knew nothing about the place. I was pleasantly surprised when I headed out for a drive to get accustomed to the area. I found what felt like a secret temple called Gion-ji, which is technically in Kose, but nearby. The views from the top of paragliding spot, Mt.Ohira were fantastic and the stone windmills are definitely worth a little look.
