Takamatsu Central Shopping Mall in the heart of Takamatsu City is a series of eight shopping streets with a total length of about 2.7 km, making it the "longest arcade shopping street in Japan." Soft light filters through the high domed ceilings, allowing comfortable shopping and dining regardless of the weather. It is a vibrant space where long-established kimono and Buddhist altar shops coexist with the latest fashion brands and sophisticated cafes. Especially attractive are the many famous udon shops frequented daily by locals, allowing you to experience the authentic food culture firsthand. Fusing urban convenience with a somewhat nostalgic Japanese shopping street culture, it is an essential spot for a city walk where you can feel the real life and vitality of today's Japan just by walking.
