    "This 120-year-old lighthouse is made of unpainted Aji stone, extremely unusual for any lighthouse in Japan, and has been selected for inclusion in a list of Japan's Top 50 Lighthouses. The lighthouse was also famously used as allocation in the movie ""Times of Joy and Sorrow."" The adjoining Ogijima Lighthouse Museum contains exhibits on lighthouses around the country and the history of Ogijima."

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.
