Takamatsu

Takamatsu stretches along the northern coast of Shikoku Island, facing the Seto Inland Sea with mountains forming a natural backdrop to the urban landscape.

The Matsudaira clan established Takamatsu Castle in the early Edo period, constructing its distinctive seawater moat system that remains partially preserved in the city center.

The extensive Ritsurin Garden demonstrates classical Japanese landscaping techniques through carefully arranged ponds, bridges, pavilions, and traditional tea houses across its grounds.

Takamatsu Station connects the city to major destinations across Shikoku and mainland Japan through regular train services crossing the Seto-Ohashi Bridge.

The city maintains over 600 udon restaurants, making it the center of Sanuki udon production, where noodles are prepared following centuries-old techniques.
