2025 Takamatsu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#1月好去地方2025 During our trip to Shikoku, we came to "Sanuki", the hometown of udon in Kagawa Prefecture. Of course, we had to pick a beautiful and popular store to try. Fortunately, we drove by ourselves, so we could easily reach this remote "Udon Honjin Yamada-ya". The restaurant has a large traditional Japanese garden. Walking through the door curtain, you will see an old wooden building, outdoor seats with red umbrellas, and carved old pines. The layout of the garden is elegant and grand, and it feels like you are a guest at a wealthy family's home. The noodles are homemade, chewy and have a light noodle aroma. The udon is very chewy and delicious whether it is in soup or dry. There is also crispy fried tempura, which is really enjoyable when paired with a cup of warm matcha. The treasure udon is highly recommended. #ShikokuTravel #Kagawa #SanukiUdon

Tamamo Park, where the ruins of Takamatsu Castle are located, still has visible moats and remnants of walls, even though the castle itself is mostly in ruins. The historical atmosphere of the Edo period and the dry landscape garden design make it worth a visit. The moat of Takamatsu Castle is filled with seawater from the Seto Inland Sea, making it a true water castle standing above the sea. Although only the walls remain today, it is still quite majestic and impressive. You can take a boat ride around the moat to get a sense of its historical significance. The wooden Saya Bridge, vast pine forests, and Japanese gardens are highlights of Tamamo Park. There is also the Takamatsu Castle History Museum, which showcases the site's past in detail. If you're lucky, you might even catch the nighttime light show.

Ritsurin Garden in Takamatsu, Shikoku, is a famous Japanese garden built in 1625. It is a strolling garden that incorporates rich traditional Japanese gardening techniques, harmoniously blending natural landscapes, buildings, ponds, bridges, and other elements to create a beautiful spot that combines natural beauty with human ingenuity. Visiting during the cherry blossom season, the park is adorned with the romantic beauty of Yoshino cherry blossoms, which are white with a hint of pink. The picturesque scenery, with small bridges, flowing water, and garden landscapes as the backdrop, makes for stunning photos. The biggest attraction of cherry blossom viewing in Shikoku is the lack of crowds, allowing for unobstructed views! Ritsurin Garden covers a vast area and has five main attractions: Hiunkaku Pavilion, Goten, the Great Pond, Kisho, and artificial hills. You can also enjoy a boat ride on the lake, which is quite poetic. In 1994, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site, making it well worth a visit.

📍JR Clement Inn Takamatsu There is the ‘Clement Inn’ hotel and the ‘Clement’ hotel next to it, which looks like a 5-star hotel from the outside. The reason I chose the ‘Clement Inn’ hotel is that it is a relatively new hotel and that it has a ‘large public bath’. The long-awaited ‘large public bath’, even just one hot bath will make your travel fatigue disappear. A large bath with the ocean outside in the background gives you a feeling of greater healing for some reason. #Ho-kang-seu

Takamatsu Travel😸 It's January, but the weather is warm, so it's a great day to go around! I bought a Kototen Pass at the airport and went to Kotohira Shrine, and it's great to go around here and there with the pass! There's an Aeon Mall on the way back from Kotohira Shrine, so you can look around and get your pass for free~~~ Ritsurin Park takes more than an hour to see. Your legs might hurt a lot... 😹 There's a bus stop to Takamatsu Station in front of Ritsurin Park. The bus fare is 200 yen!👍 The shrimp tempura restaurant is only open from 11:30 to 2:00 in the morning. You have to go early to eat without waiting! The portions are huge🙀 #JapanFlightEvent #Takamatsu #RitsurinPark #Kotohira

#globaltravel Since Hong Kong has direct flights to Takamatsu, traveling to Shikoku has become more convenient, but you don’t have to worry about driving by yourself. Because even if you travel by public transportation, Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku is also very convenient. Taking a boat out to sea every day is really the best way to relax for those who love the sea. The first stop was Ogi Island, also known as Cat Island. Located in the Seto Inland Sea between Honshu and Shikoku, there are very few residents on the island. It is said that there are less than 200 people. I stayed at Ogijima for the whole morning and saw only a few people, but I loved the leisure and the lack of crowds. There are not too many cats on the island. I met about 3-4 cats in one morning. None of them are too close to each other, but they are very cute walking around all the time. There are several cafes on the island. Although they don’t seem to be open often, there are also many delicious food in Takamatsu City. You might as well go back to the city to find delicious food! 📍Address: Ogi Island

Shikoku Mura is an outdoor museum that was created by relocating and restoring old houses from four prefectures: Kagawa, Ehime, Kochi, and Tokushima. It is used as an important part of children's social learning. In Shikoku Village, which is rich in natural resources, there are traditional industrial facilities such as houses and daily utensils that allow you to understand ancient life, and soy sauce breweries. There are also traces of the stage where local residents transformed themselves into Kabuki actors and performed "Rural Kabuki". In addition, Shikoku Village also displays the lifelike works of sculptor Nagatoshi Masayuki and the Shikoku Village Art Exhibition Hall designed by architect Tadao Ando. This art gallery displays a variety of sculptures, Buddhist statues, paintings, and other works of art. From the balcony, you can also see the "waterscape garden" built using the slope. #2024TravelReview

Our 3-day, 2-night trip in Takamatsu has come to an end. Takamatsu, a small town on Kagawa Island! We only expected some countryside relaxation, but there were also Mitsukoshi Department Store with Louis Vuitton and Rolex, various boutique shops, and numerous pubs. The prices were so low that we ate and drank to our heart's content for 3 days and 2 nights, yet our expenses were minimal. It was fantastic.

There is a square in Takamatsu Station with many restaurants and clothing stores. And this is the busiest subway station in Takamatsu, with a lot of people. But there is actually an Anpanman train check-in slot on the fourth floor of the square. The entire floor is decorated with Anpanman graphics, even the trash cans have graphics! Definitely a place that kids will love to go to Compared to prosperous cities like Tokyo and Osaka, Takamatsu has a slower pace Shops generally close very early Although it is not a very advanced city, it is cleaner, more casual and more comfortable. Takamatsu Station is near the port and can be reached on foot 📍Address: Takamatsu Station Plaza #globaltravel

Seto Inland Sea Ogijima Island An island where you can happily purr your cats There are only about a hundred households on the island, and cats are leisurely running around in the quiet alleys. If you forget to bring cat food, the island also provides it~ The island is mostly uphill and downhill or with steep stairs. The distances between attractions are quite close. It only takes about 40 minutes to get to the farthest lighthouse. However, there seem to be fewer people coming to the lighthouse, so there are no cats. After walking around, I think the place with the most cats is Toyotamahime Shrine. Not only can you pet the cats, but you can also overlook the entire island. Although the stairs are a bit steep, I recommend everyone to go up and take a look. There are not many flights from Takamatsu to Ogijima. If you want to go to Megijima as well, you must pay special attention to the flight time. In addition, the ticket office for Ogijima and Megijima is outside the ferry waiting room. #100TravelWays #JapanSightseeing #SoloTravel #KagawaSightseeing #CatIsland #IslandHopping #TakamatsuSightseeing #DopamineTourism

Shikoku is known for its beautiful scenery, and many people think it's difficult to explore without driving. However, with proper planning and the use of JR trains and buses, you can easily tour Shikoku. For first-time visitors, this 5-day 4-night itinerary covering Kagawa and Tokushima is a great reference. Day 1: Takamatsu Airport ✈️ → Takamatsu Shopping Street → Takamatsu JR Station → Tokushima JR Station → Nearby Hotel Day 2: Take a bus from outside Tokushima JR Station to Naruto Whirlpools → Uzu no Michi → Naruto Park → Take JR to Oboke Station, then hotel shuttle to Onsen Hotel ♨️ Day 3: Oboke Gorge Sightseeing Boat 🚤 → Iya Vine Bridge → Return to hotel to pick up luggage, then take JR to Kotohira Station → Kotohira-gu Shrine → Hotel near Takamatsu Station Day 4: Takamatsu Port → Day trip to Shodoshima → Takamatsu Hotel 🏨 Day 5: Take the Kotoden Kotohira Line to Ritsurin Koen Station → Ritsurin Garden → Return to hotel to pick up luggage → Takamatsu Airport ✈️ 【Must-Visit Attractions】 1. Naruto Whirlpools: Taking a sightseeing boat is one of the best ways to view the whirlpools 🤩. You can not only see the whirlpools up close but also feel the turbulent and rotating water when the boat gets close to the whirlpool area, which is both thrilling and breathtaking 🤪. 2. Iya Vine Bridge: The vine bridge spans a steep gorge with rushing river water below. Although it has been reinforced and is very safe, it still wobbles when you walk on it 🫨. 3. Ritsurin Garden: The entire park is composed of a series of lakes, small bridges, and pavilions, perfectly blending the essence of Edo-period garden design. Walking through it feels like being in a graceful and charming landscape painting 😍. 【Must-Try Foods】 1. Sanuki Udon in Kagawa is one of Japan's top three udon varieties, and there are many famous small shops around 🍜. 2. Kagawa's Bone-in Chicken is also a must-try 😋. It's grilled chicken leg seasoned with salt and pepper, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. 3. Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes are a specialty of Tokushima, with golden-yellow flesh that is very delicious 🍠. 【Accommodation Recommendations】 ⭐️ Recommended Area: If staying in Takamatsu, it's recommended to stay near Takamatsu JR Station for convenient transportation and proximity to Takamatsu Port. 🏨 Hotel Name: JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu 📍 Hotel Address: 1-1 Hamano Cho, Takamatsu, Takamatsu, Japan, 760-0011 【Photo Spots】 1.

DAY 1: Taoyuan to Takamatsu Airport DAY 2: Takamatsu to Tokushima Fly directly with China Airlines for about 2 hours After arriving at Takamatsu Airport, you can see the Pilgrimage mascots and unique Pilgrimage rest area in the lobby. In April, you might also catch the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The cherry trees lining the sidewalk next to the hotel are in full bloom, and with a gentle breeze, the petals flutter beautifully in the air. Stay one night at a youth hostel near the station, then take the JR train to Tokushima the next day. After arriving, walk to Nakanishi Cycle. When planning the trip last December, I contacted the shop via email to have a bike suitable for the pilgrimage assembled for me. After exchanging dozens of emails, I finally saw the long-awaited deep blue SIRRUS 2.0 flat-bar road bike. After picking up the bike, I rode around the area a bit and asked the owner to make some minor adjustments. The front and rear lights, storage bag, and heavy-duty lock were also installed. Tomorrow, I plan to ride to the Naruto Strait to warm up. The 60-day Shikoku Pilgrimage + Seto Inland Sea Cycling Tour is about to begin.

The oysters are huge, the quality is great, and they are delicious. You can choose the sudachi, lemon, spicy sauce, etc. that you eat together when you order, and they also have a lot of sake. The shop is small, so there is sometimes a waiting line. If you visit Takamatsu, be sure to visit here to have a glass of sake with Japanese raw oysters. . 2-1 Kataharamachi, Takamatsu, Kagawa 760-0040 +81 87-821-2010 17:00 ~ 22:30

#shopping #Shikoku #100 ways to travel Katahara-cho, Takamatsu, Shikoku is a shopping lover’s paradise with a rich variety of shopping options. The Kataharacho Shopping Street is the main shopping area of ​​​​the area, home to a variety of specialty shops and dining venues, attracting many tourists and local residents. In Kataharacho Shopping Street, you can find many small shops specializing in local specialties, such as Tamura Kuzuwa and Do Main Store, where the tile pancakes are a representative specialty of the area. In addition, there is BAG’S SHOP ソノダ, which is a store specializing in domestic brand bags, especially the PORTER brand, with about 100 different styles on stock3. There are many other types of shops in the Kataharacho shopping street, including fashion clothing stores, lifestyle stores and bookstores. The shopping environment here is comfortable with arcades for a pleasant shopping no matter the weather.

Last November, when we arrived in Takamatsu, our first stop was Yashima. At the Shishi-no-Reigan Observatory, we overlooked Takamatsu City and the Seto Inland Sea. By the time we reached the mountain, it was already dark. Our family of four groped through Yashima Temple, one of the 88 sacred sites of Shikoku, and were greeted by a stunning night view! Takamatsu may not be considered a big city by Hong Kong standards, but its flat urban landscape creates a unique and breathtaking night scene. From the heights, looking down at the tranquil city, the photo-like view was deeply etched in our minds. On the first day of our trip, our family fell in love with this place. But the surprises of Yashima go beyond the night scenery. Next to the observatory is the Yashima Mountain Exchange Center, a masterpiece of architecture completed in 2022. This curved viewing corridor seems to compete with the romantic night scenery in terms of architectural aesthetics, making it hard to decide where to focus your gaze. Adding to the beauty are the outdoor maple leaves. The night maples, paired with the distant city lights, rival the famous maple viewing spots like Kankakei and Ritsurin Garden. The city's nightscape, the red maples, and the architectural beauty complement each other, creating a chorus of exclamations on Yashima Mountain. To create an unforgettable spot, some regrets are inevitable. Unfortunately, we went up the mountain at night and couldn't enjoy the sunset from the west-facing observatory. If we could have seen the sunset with the evening glow, accompanied by the gradually falling night, it would have been unimaginably beautiful and awe-inspiring.

Megijima, also known as Onigashima, is about a 20-minute boat ride from Takamatsu Port. According to legend, Momotaro came here to fight demons, and there is a statue of a demon at the port of Megijima to welcome tourists taking the ferry. Afterwards, we went to visit the mysterious cave of Onigashima; there are various legends in the cave, some say it is the hiding place of the devil, it has a very atmospheric atmosphere, but some of the ghosts are very cute! Instead, after passing through the large cave, there is an endless 360-degree unparalleled sea view of the Seto Inland Sea! When you’re near the pier, be sure to check out the adorable line of seagulls lined up on the breakwater. This art installation is called “Seagull Parking Lot,” and there are as many as 300 seagulls! #island #100 ways to travel

#JapanTravel My visit to Boshozan Park was a fun and exciting experience. The park is characterized by its vast green spaces and the natural beauty of the surroundings. I enjoyed wandering the paths lined with shady trees. The breathtaking view of the city from the top of the plateau was also spectacular. The park offers many recreational activities such as walking, cycling, and other outdoor sports. Visitors can also enjoy the charming scenery of waterfalls and small ponds that add a special charm to the place. In general, my visit to Boshozan Park was a relaxing and natural beauty experience, I recommend it to visitors who are looking for tranquility and relaxation in a charming natural atmosphere.

But today, I want to reveal to you a hidden treasure in Japan—Takamatsu Castle!🏙️ No need to detour through Hong Kong, direct flights from Shanghai to Takamatsu are now available!✨ Let me take you on a four-day, three-night island-hopping fantasy trip!🚀 💖Accommodation: Immerse yourself in the romantic nights at Takamatsu Port, where all three nights will be a perfect experience! 🌸Day 1: Takamatsu—Ritsurin Garden 🎋Ritsurin Garden, the third-ranked Michelin three-star garden in Japan, offers scenery that can compete with any garden or temple in Kyoto! The Nan-en's 'Hiraiho' is like nature's magic mirror, reflecting the beauty of the garden in full. Don't forget to taste the matcha and sweets at Kyugetsu-tei Pavilion; the texture of the dango is absolutely unforgettable! 🌊Day 2: Takamatsu—Naoshima 🚤Take a large ferry or a high-speed boat to Naoshima. The larger ferry is more stable and comfortable, a wise choice. Here, you will encounter Yayoi Kusama's red and yellow pumpkins, becoming a unique landmark in your journey. The white mesh structure of Naoshima Pavilion and the profound art of Chichu Art Museum will be unforgettable memories of your trip. 🌳Day 3: Takamatsu—Teshima 🛵Rent an electric bicycle to explore the unique charm of Teshima.

The soy sauce ice cream from the soy sauce factory is an ultimate taste experience; Olive Tree Park, the filming location for Kiki's Delivery Service, where you can borrow a broom and create beautiful memories under the big windmill; Nijushi no Hitomi Movie Village, which can be skipped by those not familiar with Japanese cinema, but it's far from the port and requires patience to find. 🍱Cuisine: In Takamatsu, you can't miss bone-in chicken and udon. Ikkaku bone-in chicken, Kichitori Izakaya, Taisai Sakaba, Seto Sushi, and Udon Baka Ichidai are all popular shops that will provide you with an unforgettable culinary experience. ✨This is a journey full of fantasy and beauty, like a real-life Suzunari journey. Don't hesitate any longer, come to Takamatsu and start your adventure!🌠

I've been living in Japan for almost a year without realizing it. In addition to the well-known Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, I've also visited quite a few smaller cities. Here are some of my personal favorite small cities for those who are struggling to decide where to go (in no particular order) ⭕ Takamatsu Takamatsu is the capital of Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku, and it was the first place I visited on my trip to Japan 10 years ago. It has a famous nickname as the hometown of udon noodles, so you can enjoy various kinds of udon here. Also, the triennial 'Setouchi Triennale' art festival is an event not to be missed, and from Takamatsu Port, it's very convenient to travel to treasure islands such as Shodoshima, Naoshima, and Teshima. ⭕ Kochi It could be said to be the most low-key capital city in the Shikoku region. This is the hometown of the anti-shogunate warrior Sakamoto Ryoma. During my half-day city walk in Kochi, I truly felt the city's tranquil atmosphere. Additionally, I particularly like Kochi's trams, which have super cute liveries. ⭕ Tokushima Tokushima is also a place I visited on my first trip to Japan. The Awa Dance is a local specialty here, and you must see it. Also, the Iya Valley is a great place to escape the summer heat. ⭕ Onomichi A small city facing Shikoku across the sea from Honshu, it has both mountains and sea, and cycling is very popular here. Cycling from Onomichi to Shikoku's 'Shimanami Kaido' is known as Japan's most beautiful cycling route. Ramen and oysters are local specialties here. Oh, and Yasujiro Ozu's famous work 'Tokyo Story' was also filmed in Onomichi. ⭕ Kanazawa The largest city in the Hokuriku region of Japan. It is also a city with a 'high gold content.' Ninety-nine percent of Japan's gold leaf is produced here, so you can buy various gold leaf products, including food and drinks containing gold leaf. Additionally, one of Japan's three great gardens, Kenrokuen, is also located in Kanazawa. ⭕ Saga Saga in Kyushu is often rated as one of the cities in Japan with the least presence. But after going to Saga, I fell in love with it. Saga's ramen and Wagyu beef are really delicious, and the key is that they are much cheaper than in big cities. A double portion of Saga beef for just over 5000 yen is incredibly tempting. ⭕ Hakodate I've been to Hakodate twice, once in autumn and once in winter. Compared to Sapporo, Hakodate is much more interesting. From Mount Hakodate, you can see the million-dollar night view, and Goryokaku Park is a treasure with beautiful scenery all year round.

In Takamatsu city, Japan, there is a garden that has been hidden for hundreds of years. It is hidden in the city, unrelated to the hustle and bustle, and is quiet in a corner. It is the 'Ritsurin Park' rated as a three-star destination by the Michelin Tour Guide. Walking into Ritsurin Park, the green fields and fresh air make me feel relaxed. It is said that there are a thousand pine trees in it, which are matched with buildings, rockeries, and lakes. Walking or boating during the period can be described as changing scenery with every step, and it is worthy of its reputation as a 'circuit-style daimyo garden' in Japan. In addition to outdoor viewing, going to the indoor of the Ritsurin Park building, either sitting quietly and drinking tea to enjoy the outside scenery, or taking pictures with the building as the medium and the scenery as the background, is also a picturesque viewing experience. Overall, I think this destination is very worth recommending. After a trip, I still have a lot to do. I look forward to having the opportunity to come here again, and feel the ease here with a more 'slow' speed and mentality.

Ritsurin Garden is an urban park and Japanese garden located in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. It is designated as a special place of scenic beauty of the country and is also part of the Takamatsu Historical and Cultural Road. In the Michelin tourist guide released on March 16, 2009, it was rated the highest level, 3 stars, as a "spot worth a special visit." In 2012, the American professional garden magazine "Japanese Garden Journal" ranked Ritsurin Garden third in the "2011 Japanese Garden Ranking" after the Adachi Museum of Art and Katsura Imperial Villa. The entire park is designed as a pond and spring garden. There are six pools and thirteen rockery in the park. It has the reputation of "one step, one view", and people can enjoy the ever-changing scenery with every step they take. The view from the artificial hill "Fei Lai Feng" is particularly wonderful, and you can see the representative attractions of the park. There are more than 1,400 carefully trimmed pine trees in the park. Among them, there is the "Neogami five-leaf pine" which has grown from a bonsai in the Edo period into a towering tree, as well as many other pine trees with graceful postures, which are a major attraction of the park.

Sunshine, island, leisurely cats This is a small island in the Seto Inland Sea - Ogijima, also a famous 'Cat Island' in Japan. It takes 40 minutes by boat from Takamatsu Port, and there are only about 200 islanders, but you can see cats everywhere. Perhaps they are used to living with the islanders, the cats here are not afraid of people at all, but will roll over and show their belly in front of you. If you prepare some cat snacks when you go to the island, believe me, you will be besieged by cats w The whole island is not big, the islanders live along the slope, although the slope is complicated like a maze, but you can also see the scenery of the whole island and the beautiful Seto Inland Sea. One of the must-go places is the 'House of Sunset and Cats', where the shop owner is also the administrator of the cats, Mr. Matsumoto. The shop is basically unmanned, but Mr. Matsumoto's phone number is left. If you need to order or drink, just call ~ Take a sunny afternoon, come to the island to see the sea view and stroke the cats, it can be said to be the ideal of life. ———————————— Ogijima Takamatsu Port - Ogijima Travel time: 40 minutes Boat ticket price: 510 yen (260 yen for elementary school students and below) Recommended play time: 2-4 hours
