Takamatsu: What to Do and Where to Stay

Food · Things to do · Where to stay

Ritsurin Garden is 7 minutes on foot from Kotoden Ritsurin-koen Station, Yashima and the Shikoku Mura open-air museum are on the east side, and Takamatsu Port, about 5 minutes on foot from JR Takamatsu Station, has the ferries to Megijima and Naoshima. Kotohira-gu, with its 785 stone steps, is about 1 hour 5 minutes away by JR.

The pages below split the city the way a trip does: what to do, and whether to sleep by the station and port, around Kotoden Kawaramachi, or at the foot of Kotohira-gu.
