Takamatsu Port, the sea gateway to Kagawa Prefecture, is the hub where journeys to the islands of the Seto Inland Sea begin. Ferries to islands full of art and nature, such as Naoshima, Teshima, and Shodoshima, frequently come and go, always brimming with the excitement of travel. The "Sunport Takamatsu" area around the port features "Seto Shirube," the world's first red glass lighthouse, and a symbol tower with an ocean view, making it popular for strolls and dates. At dusk, the sunset over the Seto Inland Sea dyes the port in gold, creating a breathtaking landscape. Boasting excellent access just a few minutes' walk from Takamatsu Station, it is a beautiful port where urbanity and the sea intersect, allowing you to enjoy the mood of Setouchi while feeling the gentle sea breeze before or after island-hopping.

Takamatsu Castle Ruins (Tamamo Park)

Tamamo Park, developed on the site of Takamatsu Castle, is known as one of the "Three Great Water Castles of Japan" for its very rare feature of drawing seawater directly into the moat. Even today, seawater fish such as sea bream swim in the moat, and the unique "Tai-gan Joju" experience of feeding them from a boat is highly popular. Heavy structures designated as National Important Cultural Properties, such as the "Tsukimi Yagura" and "Watari Yagura" turrets, convey the prestige of the time, and the reconstructed "Sakura-go-mon" gate is also a highlight.
