An important base for maritime transport starting in the Edo period, today it offers atmospheric historic neighborhoods mingling with modern creative influences. Traditional entertainment also flourished as the territory was under the direct control of the Shogunate during the Edo period. The island's renowned all-women bunraku puppet theater is still performed today.

These uninhabited islands do not even have vending machines or, naturally, any form of electrically powered devices. A beach clubhouse is set up during the summer season, and visitors can purchase simple meals and snacks. The ferryboats do not run on a schedule, but rather just whenever a customer needs to be ferried. In order to return back to Shikoku Island, one must call the ferry by phone.

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.
