Kagawa Ayauta-gun Utazu Cho Hamaichibancho 4

This is a reconstruction of the kind of naturally-flooded saltpans developed in the early Edo period for making salt. It adjoins the Utazu-Umihotaru museum, which presents the history and culture of salt making in Utazu. Very few such working reconstructed saltpans exist in the country, and many area elementary and junior high schools make field trips to it. With a reservation made at least 10 days in advance, families and groups can also try making salt using the facility (note that salt making activities may be cancelled due to weather).

こちらの「うたづ海ホタル」というのは、道の駅宇多津臨海公園の中心的な施設です。と言っても、こちらの道の駅の売りは、目の前に広がる瀬戸内海の景色だと思います。海ホタルの横には復元された塩田があって、その塩田の水門などが見所になっていました。昔からの塩づくりの地域らしいと思ったのは、管内に並んでいたたくさんの種類の塩でした。

Over 100 chosa exist in the city, and during the festival they create a stunning spectacle as they are gallantly paraded through the streets. The museum also introduces the history of chosa and their decorations, and visitors can experience the thrill of the festival even when it is not being held. Be sure not to miss the area where visitors can strike a full-sized taiko drum, as well as the area where visitors can try shouldering a chosa just like they are carried during the festival.

Kagawa Nakatado-gun Tadotsucho Kachu 1-6

This is a museum built to commemorate the centennial of the founding of Tadotsu Township. It displays and preserves many of the cultural artifacts and documents pertaining to the growth and development of Tadotsu, which lies on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea. This area flourished during the Meiji era after the restoration and through the early Showa era because of the railroad industry. It thrived as one of the few towns pioneering towards the modernization of Kagawa because its harbor was the port of call for many western-route trade ships. This archival museum houses many documents and artifacts describing the history and growth of the area, including the fact that it was here that the first weather station and electric light company was established in all of Shikoku Island. It was known as the birthplace of modernization for Shikoku.

Kagawa Takamatsu-shi Showacho 1-2-20

This trademark plate-glassed building is an history library just a three-minute walk from the Showacho Station on the JR Kotoku Line. It opened in 1992 as a place where one can learn about the history of Takamatsu and familiarize oneself with their hometown. The permanent exhibit begins from the prehistoric period, to ancient times, moving to the modern and current eras by introducing unique historic topics. The 3D model of the pleasure boat used by Takamatsu Domain, Hiryumaru, replicated by studying kirie paper drawings, is practically the emblem of the museum. There are also many works of art and documents pertaining to the historic battle site, Yashima, where Genpei joined the famous Genpei War in the late Heian Period.

Kagawa Zentsuji-shi Zentsujicho 6-1-4

This is a local folk museum, about a three-minute walk from the great red gate to the Zentsuji Temple. Exhibited here are around 1000 historical, and anthropological artifacts that are related to around 800 archaeological items unearthed from within Zentsuji. These artifacts were formerly housed in the historic Zentsuji City Kaikosha, military club; an Important Cultural Property built in 1877. However, in 2005 they were moved here, the Akamonsuji, to conserve and repair said property as an important cultural property. Among the archaeological findings from the Paleolithic age to the civil war ear are many invaluable items important to the study of Japan's history.

フェリーの待ち時間があったので覗いてみました。鬼にまつわる展示がありましたが、館内があまりに暗く、足元の段差につまづく程で、展示を見るというより、お化け屋敷のようでした。でも、待合所のようなスペースもあったので寒い時期に船を待つにはよい場所でした。

Kagawa Areas

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.
