It is also open at night for a limited time, allowing you to enjoy a romantic atmosphere with a different view from the daytime scenery.

Point 2

Sanuki Marche: A Collection of Kagawa Prefecture's Specialties

Sanuki Marche started in 2011 to convey the appeal of Kagawa Prefecture's unique foods, crafts, producers, and restaurants that are particular to the prefecture. Held once a month in the Sunport Takamatsu area, which is located near Takamatsu Port and JR Takamatsu Station, it introduces a variety of food cultures with different themes each time, such as "malt and bread" and "fermentation." Not only can you enjoy local flavors, but handmade goods and accessories are also sold, making it the perfect place to find unique souvenirs.

Point 3

Gateway to the Sea with Access to Seven Islands

This area, located in Takamatsu Port, which serves as the starting point for island trips, has excellent access from the station and is also an ideal base for island hopping in the surrounding Seto Inland Sea. It's a familiar sight in Takamatsu to see regular ships going back and forth between the islands of the Seto Inland Sea and Takamatsu Port, including Shodoshima, Naoshima, Megijima, and Ogijima. On clear days, you can also enjoy the stunning view from the ship. There are also many restaurants nearby, so after filling up on Kagawa's famous udon, it's a great feeling to set out on a boat trip.

Point 4

Enjoy Udon in Takamatsu, the Holy Land of Sanuki Udon!

Among the Sanuki udon, the specialty of Kagawa Prefecture, Takamatsu City is particularly popular among both tourists and locals, with many popular shops gathered here. From the simple "kake udon" to the popular "kamatama udon" and the addictive "niku udon" with sweet meat, there are also shops where you can enjoy unique udon that can only be found in the udon prefecture. One of the features of Sanuki udon is that many shops offer side dishes such as "oden," "tempura," and "inarizushi." If you try them with your favorite udon, you may discover some hidden specialties.

Point 5

Take a Stroll Through Japan's Longest Shopping Arcade

Located in the heart of Takamatsu City, Takamatsu Chuo Shotengai boasts a total length of 2.7km for its arcade, making it the longest shopping arcade in Japan.
