Rabbityama Says: The ruins of Takamatsu Castle are what form Tamamo Park. The original castle was built in 1590 by Ikoma Chikamasa. This castle is famous in Japan for being one of the few coastal castles in the country. Although the castle itself no longer remains, there are two turrets...
Rabbityama Says: Yashima Island is famous for two things: Yashima Temple and the Battle of Yashima during the Genpei Wars.Yashima Temple was built during the Kamakura Period (1185-1333) and is number 84 of Shikoku's famous 88 temples (the numbers are not rankings, they mark the order in...
Rabbityama Says: Ritsurin Garden is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and it is also one of the most beautiful!The original garden was constructed by the Lord of the Sanuki (the rulers of northern Shikoku at the time) during the 16th century, but changes were made and features were added...
Rabbityama Says: Near Yashima Station there is a small area with a pine tree beside a small shrine. The pine tree is famous, because it is believed to be the spot where Yoshitsune, the leader of the Minamoto clan during the Genpei War, rested prior to the Battle at Yashima. It is said that...
Tamamo Park (the ruins of Takamatsu Castle)
bebejepang Says: Tamamo Park is place of the ruins of Takamatsu Castle. Not so big park, but it is good to take a time here, especialy on sakura-time. Entrance fee is 200 yen.
salisbury3933 Says: Nice gardens here. Well worth taking a leisurely stroll around the grounds.
salisbury3933 Says: Worth a wander in to see the gardens and the ruins of the castle.
davidlop Says: This is the biggest garden I saw in Japan (I know, it is not the biggest, but I didn't visit all Japan gardens :), it takes more than two hours to walk by (in a hot day). There's also a small museum inside, but please, don't miss the nice views you may find from some...
Daimaru hotel: Standard Business hotel
salisbury3933 Says: I stayed in this hotel, as the company that employed me when I first came to Japan was based in Takamatsu.It was fairly standard business accommodation, at about 5000 yen a night, but I had no complaints.
The local specialty: Sanuki Udon
Rabbityama Says: Sanuki udon is the local delicacy and it's definitely worth a try; it's delicious! There are restaurants all over, but for a convenient location, there is one in the Yashima area near Yashima temple and the Yashima Aquarium. It's on the street with the souvenir shops; the...
salisbury3933 Says: There's an excellent value beer garden on top of the Temmaya department store, I spent a very happy five hours there ripping through enormous quantities of beer.Great place and excellent value at around 3500 yen for 4 hours.
salisbury3933 Says: Kagawa and Takamatsu are good places to sample Udon noodles. Not only are they cheap, but you can also fill up for not much.Sanuki (the old name for Kagawa) udon is famous throughout Japan, and you may even see the odd bus tour come into town with people coming solely to...
Sakaeda: Try a cheap local noodle bar
davidlop Says: This is not a gourmet place, but if you want to feel like a japaneese, sure you will! Very cheap fast japaneese food (i.e. noodles with a variety of soups and some tempuras) in a single room 3 long shared tables restaurant. Mainly visited by students (there's a big high...
Rabbityama Says: Getting to Takamatsu is easy, because you can take the Marine Liner from Okayama on the mainland.The main attractions in Takamatsu can all be reached by train.Tamamo Park is just outside Takamatsu Station.Ritsurin Garden is located nearby Ritsurin Kitaguchi Station.Yashima...
salisbury3933 Says: Takamatsu is a useful train junction. From here you can get long distance express trains bound for Okayama on Honshu, and the other three main centres on Shikoku, Kochi, Tokushima and Matsuyama.
salisbury3933 Says: There is a fast ferry that plies the route from Takamatsu to Osaka leaving from Takamatsu port. It costs around 5000 yen, and does the trip in around two and a half hours.

For many visitors, Takamatsu is simply a trip to Ritsurin Garden. Although the garden is certainly worth a visit, Takamatsu's historical value extends well beyond the garden. Yashima is the area in...
