Takamatsu Travel Tips
Takamatsu (高松), the charming capital of Kagawa, welcomes you to Japan's smallest prefecture with its rich history and vibrant culture. Once the main gateway to Shikoku Island, Takamatsu's port was a bustling entry point until the Seto Ohashi Bridge opened in 1988. As you stroll through the city, you'll find remnants of its former castle town and the influence of the Matsudaira Clan, who ruled during the Edo Period.
A highlight of your visit should be Ritsurin Koen, one of Japan's most stunning gardens, lovingly crafted by the ruling clan. This serene oasis, with its meticulously landscaped grounds, invites leisurely walks and moments of reflection. Takamatsu's blend of historical significance and natural beauty makes it a must-visit destination on your journey through Shikoku.
