 About Takamatsu and Kagawa |
Takamastu city is the capital of Kagawa prefecture located in the northeast of Shikoku which is one of the four main islands in Japan. Takamatsu, a 16th century castle town, is well known for its Takamatsu castle which is counted amongst Japan's top 100 famous castles. The beauty of archipelago in the Seto Inland Sea, with its lush pine forests, sandy beaches, and mostly calm waters, can be admired from the observation deck of Takamatsu castle. The local train "KOTODEN" which is recommended for you visiting Takamatsu for the first time, takes you around to famous sightseeing spots such as Ritsurin Garden. 
Kagawa prefecture, also nicknamed "Udon Prefecture" is best known for its Sanuki-Udon. As the first place in Japan to successfully cultivate olives, Shodo island in Kagawa is famous for olive production. You can buy many products such as foods, oils and cosmetics made from olives. 
Kagawa is the smallest prefecture in Japan and faces the Seto Inland Sea. Seto Ohashi Bridge is a series of double deck bridges connecting Kagawa and Okayama prefectures across small islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Naoshima, an art island that borders Takamatsu city, is home to the number of museums, galleries and contemporary artworks. Marine taxi is the best way to visit this island.
