    Kagawa Takamatsu-shi Kataharamachi 1-2
    This district, formerly full of warehouses, is now a multi-complex area as an extension of the Kitahama Alley area. In these warehouses, just a 10-minute walk from Takamatsu Station, are housed over ten shops and stores of various businesses, such as galleries, cafes, flower shops, and bars. This area was developed to revitalize the deteriorating warehouses used to store navy cargo wares by diverting the space to commercial use. The retro rugged ambiance of the navy warehouses lend themselves to a creative space that can be used for a variety of events such as live concerts, parties, exhibits, and more. Many events for introducing creative new styles and arts are held here.

    ゆったりとした座席、落ち着いた雰囲気。ちょっと歩き疲れた時、ふらりと立ち寄って、まったりできます。 わちゃわちゃした雰囲気(?)の今どきの喫茶店ではなく、懐かしい雰囲気で小休憩。 一階で、瓦せんべいなどを購入できます。

The popularity of this sweet, shaped into the shape of a brewing barrel, has not waned for many generations. Another sweet, which has become a popular item sold on the internet, is the Shodo Island Olive Castilla cake, in which olive leaf powder and olive oil is used. The Shodo Island Shoyu Castilla that has a faint aroma of soy sauce, and the Maiko Kiku confection, which sandwiches Hokkaido adzuki beans between western pound cake pieces, are beloved as well.

Kagawa Areas

around-area-map

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
