From days gone by, visitors have enjoyed the mild climate and bright sunshine of the Seto Inland Sea region. Kagawa Prefecture lies on the northeastern part of Shikoku, the smallest island in the Japanese Archipelago. Facing the Seto Inland Sea, Kagawa Prefecture is renowned for its scenic beauty.

Shikoku is now more accessible from other major cities in Japan. Access to Shikoku by air improved greatly with the opening of the Takamatsu Airport.
Highway travel between Honshu and Shikoku advanced with the construction of the Seto Chuo Expressway which runs on the Seto Ohashi Bridge.

Takamatsu, the capital city of the prefecture, is a branch of the city where local offices of governmental organizations and branch offices of major companies are situated. On the water front of Takamatsu Port, a symbol tower has been erected, which boasts the highest point on Shikoku Island. Appropriate urban functions have been built up as the central base for Shikoku Island.

From times past, local residents gladly welcomed Ohenrosan, pilgrims who visit the 88 Temples of Shikoku. Enjoy this spirit of hospitality which awaits you here in Kagawa Prefecture.
