The Culture Hall, situated in a former malthouse, presents displays about the history and culture associated with sake-brewing, and has interesting exhibits such as tokkuri (traditional earthenware sake bottles), sake cups, etc. Visitors to the Kinryo-no-sato Sake Museum can also enjoy tastings of Kinryo Sake.

    GWに金毘羅さんを訪れた際に訪問。朝、向かいのうどん屋さんで待っているときから気になっていたので参拝帰りに立ち寄りました。金陵というブランドで多くのお酒を出しています。今回は金陵の里限定の純米酒と金陵濃藍純米吟醸を購入しました。元は工場だったので、酒造りの歴史館などを見ることができます。

    Kagawa Pref. Marugameshi Minatomachi 307-15
    The Uchiwa no Minato Museum (POLCA) is a museum dedicated to the history of Marugame uchiwa (traditional paper fans). During the Edo period, it became customary to buy Marugame paper fans as souvenirs of a pilgrimage to the Kotohira Shrine, and fan-making became an important local industry in Marugame. The making of Marugame uchiwa fans has been designated a National Traditional Craft. The exhibits in POLCA include examples of different types of Marugame uchiwa fan dating from the Edo period to the present day, as well as the main regional fan styles from other parts of Japan, and mannequins showing the fan-making process, etc. There is also a demonstration area where visitors can see traditional fan-making techniques being demonstrated. POLCA is located around 15 minutes’ walk from JR Marugame Station.

    Making fans was so enjoyable. We have seen many wonderful temples, gardens and castles and even been to Disney Tokyo. I have to say that for some reason this was one of the most memorable...

    Kagawa Kanonji Ariakecho 3-36
    "The museum, named after the world's largest coin-shaped sand painting ""Kan'ei Tsuho,"" exhibits approximately 2,000 coins from 125 countries, including coins from various countries and old coins, and provides visitors with an easy-to-understand illustrated explanation of the history and importance of money. For the same admission fee, visitors can also visit the ""Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Museum"" on the second floor."

    大平正芳記念館とセット料金でしたが、見たのはこちらだけ。世界の貨幣の展示施設は全国にありますが、ここはな種類が豊富でじっくり見て回ると半日くらいはかかってしまいそうでした。コインに穴の空いているのは珍しいと聞いたことがあるので、それらの展示品には矢印やちょっとした説明文があるといいなと思いました。

    892-1 Kotohiracho, Nakatado-gun, Kagawa Prefecture
    Homotsukan was built in 1905 following the design of Masamichi Kuru, an engineer of the Ministry of Education. It is a dignified two-story building that blends Japanese and Western elements. Made of granite quarried in Kagawa Prefecture, its gabled roof has Aoki stone tiles, and the entrance features a copper roofed Chinese cusped gable. Precious items from Kotohira-gu Shrine are on display. Two particularly well-known pieces are an eleven-faced standing image of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and a collection of Portraits of Thirty-six Master Poets. The Kannon statue is an Important Cultural Property.

    400段石段を登ったところにあります。友達が素晴らしかったというので、帰りに寄ろうと思っていたら、臨時休業中で見られず残念。入館料は800円。建物は1905年に建てられた石造の2階建てで国の登録有形文化財に指定されています。狩野探幽などが描いた三十六歌仙額、かつて旭社の本尊であった十一面観音立像などを見ることができるそうです。

    Kagawa Sakaide-shi Ogoshicho Kisawa Nishiyama 1733-18
    This tourist information center is just near the ticket gate inside the Sakaide Station on the JR Yosan Line. In addition to introducing areas of interest, accommodations, and local souvenirs, they provide rent-a-cycles, often the best way to fully enjoy downtown Sakaide. Ideal for riding and strolling, these bicycles can be rented by the day for a reasonable price just by providing some checkout information. If arriving by car, the parking under the station is free for 30 minutes.

    坂出に行ったときに寄った場所のひとつです。子供向けの遊具などがあって、家族連れにはよい施設だと思います。実際、何組かの家族が遊んでいた姿が印象的でした。

    Kagawa Sanuki-shi Tawa Sukemitsu Higashi 30-1
    This is the world’s first museum dedicated to telescopes. Operating out of a closed elementary school building, the museum displays over 200 telescopes of varying sizes. The museum doesn’t just display telescopes but also holds events in which they are used to look at sunspots and prominences. Situated near the border between Kagawa Prefecture and Tokushima Prefecture, from the museum’s roof visitors take in a beautiful night sky unspoiled by light pollution. Visitors note that here you can see nebulas and star clusters only visible in an area like this with such dark skies.

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.
