Overview

This is the ideal tour for travellers who want to discover the highlights of Takamatsu and the Kagawa region efficiently, in a private vehicle with a government-licensed, experienced English-speaking guide.

Takamatsu, the gateway to Shikoku on the shore of the tranquil Seto Inland Sea, blends classic Japanese scenery with deep history. Stroll through Ritsurin Garden, one of the most beautiful landscape gardens in all of Japan, where every path frames a new view of ponds, bridges, and pine-clad hills. Stand atop Yashima for sweeping panoramas over island-dotted waters, and climb the famous stone steps of Kotohira-gu, the revered shrine of seafarers.

With your own guide and vehicle, the day is yours to shape. Choose among historic castles, Shikoku pilgrimage temples, open-air heritage villages, and lively shopping arcades, travelling in comfort without the stress of public transport. Your guide shares the stories and local flavours behind each site and tailors the pace to your interests.

Ritsurin Garden is widely regarded as one of Japan's most beautiful landscape gardens. Designed over a century around six ponds and thirteen scenic hills, with the wooded slopes of Mt. Shiun as a borrowed backdrop, its winding paths reveal a new postcard-perfect view at every turn. Stroll among teahouses, arched bridges, and pine groves shaped by generations of gardeners.

Takamatsu Castle

Takamatsu Castle, also called Tamamo Castle, is one of Japan's rare seaside castles, with moats that were once filled with seawater drawn directly from the Seto Inland Sea. Today the grounds form Tamamo Park, where surviving turrets, stone walls, and gates sit among pine trees and a tranquil strolling garden overlooking the harbour.
