2 Photogenic Sites

The Takamatsu landscape, surrounded by the calm nature of the Seto Inland Sea area, is filled with a sort of soft light and color.
First off, head to Takamatsu Port with ships coming and going. The port-side scenery is charming no matter where you look, from the scenes of islands in the Seto Inland Sea to the red glass lighthouse floating at dusk.
Try your hand at capturing a photo that takes you back in time at the SHIKOKUMURA MUSEUM, with its retro buildings scattered among the trees. Feel like the protagonist of the movie, Crying Out Love in the Center of the World, at a restored set from the movie at the Aji Tourism Exchange Plaza, Home of the Sacred Love. Enjoy the contrast of colors with colorful clothes at the sky blue building of the former Goten Water Treatment Plant (Takamatsu City Waterworks Museum).

4 Experiences

The large variety of tourist experiences in Takamatsu are profound.
Making udon noodles is the first experience that comes to mind when thinking of Takamatsu, Kagawa. Other unique industrial Kagawa experiences include kokedama making at the home of Takamatsu Bonsai and making traditional wasanbon sweets using wooden crafted molds. We also recommend zen meditation at Jisso-ji Temple, morning congee at Ritsurin Garden, and boating at Tamamo Park for those who wish to experience the Japanese spirit.
For those who like outdoor activities, how about observing animals by the sea, climbing beginner-friendly Omusubiyama, or hiking the Shikoku pilgrimage path? You will surely feel refreshed kayaking in a reservoir surrounded by green mountains or cycling to experience the scenery of the Seto Inland Sea. And of course, don't forget the classic harvesting experiences.
A private, customized cruise along the Set Inland Sea will become a prized memory, as well.

7 Traveling with children

For children, family trips become cherished memories that last into adulthood. Let's look at some spots in Takamatsu that we recommend to help create memories.
Energetic children will be very satisfied with the Kinbuchi Forest Park and Sanuki Airport Park where they can run around freely among nature. You can meet cute sea creatures at the cozy New Yashima Aquarium. The Sanuki Toy Museum, where children can play with authentic traditional crafts, provides a chance to admire the culture of Kagawa and Japan. The Takamatsu City Kodomo Miraikan Children's Center features charming science exhibits and a planetarium that nurture the curiosity of children. Children that love rides should visit the Sanuki Kodomo-no-Kuni Children's Park. They can get a feel for what it's like to operate a plane or train with actual train and plane exhibits.
