    Kagawa Pref. Mitoyoshi Niochounio Otsu 203-3
    This roughly one-kilometer long beach is also known as the Salar de Uyuni of Japan. It's been designated one of the Japan’s 100 best sunset destinations. The scenery is truly superb between 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after sunset when two conditions are satisfied: the tide and sunset coincide and there is no wind to make waves on the surface of the water.

    We plan to visit this beach to take amazing photos like other visitors however we forgot to do enough research and came here around noon. The beach is quite large and a bit windy. It s a nice beach...

  • Zenigata Sunae

    Kagawa Pref. Kanonjishi Ariakechou
    Zenigata Sunae is a large sand carving of an old copper coin used in the Edo period. It is located in the Kotohiki Park, a nationally designated place of scenic beauty. The impressive looking sand carving is 122 meters in length from east to west and 90 meters from north to south. For best views it is recommended to look from the top of Mt. Kotohiki. In recent years the place has gained a reputation for bringing good luck in terms of money, and at night the sand carving is lit up making for quite an impressive sight.

    Kasama-cho, Santoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture
    Mt. Shiude rises over the central Shonai Peninsula where Seisan (Western part of Kagawa) juts into the Seto Inland Sea. A well-known cherry blossom and azalea viewing area, you can get a panoramic view that includes the slopes blooming with flowers and the many islands of the Seto area from the summit of Mt. Shiude. The peninsula is associated with the Japanese folktale of Urashima Taro, and you can do a tour that takes in highlights tied to the legend.
  • Neagari Pine
    Travel / Tourism
    Kagawa Kanonji Yahatacho 2-7-2
    This black pine tree stands on the east side of Place of Scenic Beauty-designated Kotohiki Park, which is also a part of Setonaikai National Park. “Neagari” means “rising roots,” and as its name implies, the roots of this ancient pine are exposed and rise high off the ground. It is believed this is a result of several conditions working together, including the weathering of the ground over the years and the pine’s age, but regardless as to how it came to look like it does, the pine is one of only a few examples found in the country with such stunningly exposed roots and which is also still growing quite vigorously. “Neagari” can also mean “rising prices” or “rising value” in Japanese, and as such the pine is also famously believed to improve financial luck and is visited by people from across the country to pray for a salary raise or for the price of their favorite stock to rise.

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.
