    Kagawa Pref. Kagawagunnaoshimachou Honmura 843-1
    This café in a kominka (old Japanese-style house)is located on Naoshima, an island known for art and cycling. The café has an open and inviting atmosphere and a large garden area that faces the sea. Their homemade curry and pizzas are popular, and they have sweets such as Naoshima apple cake and vanilla ice cream too. You need to take off your shoes before you enter, which gives it an old-school Japanese feel.

    Kagawa Pref. Kagawagunnaoshimachou Miyaura 2310-31
    A cafe located a three-minute walk from Marine Station Naoshima. People love the restaurant's food made with fresh seafood and vegetables and the establishment can be used as a cafe in the daytime and as a bar at night. The cafe also offers takeout perfect for bringing along while taking a walk on the island; enjoy the local sights with a bubble tea or smoothie in hand. The establishment also has a guesthouse with three rooms, making it a great place from which to base your sightseeing activities.

    We got here on the later side with a party of 5 and were seated right away. We ordered highballs and cocktails, sashimi, and fried chicken. Everything was delicious. Service was quick and friendly...

    Kagawa Shozu-gun Shodoshima Cho Ikeda 1336
    This café is in a traditional kominka (old Japanese-style house) that took about six years to renovate. It's a popular place to relax while taking in the view of the Seto Inland Sea. They offer tasty sweets like their Chocolate Gateau, along with dishes like their spicy taco rice and daily rice specials. It's a great place to drop in while on the road.

    Kagawa Pref. Kagawagunnaoshimachou 855
    A cafe in operating out of a village government office which served the governor of Kurashiki from the time when Naoshima was under direct imperial control and Hyoemon 21st head of the Miyake clan, was appointed the first headman until the early Meiji period. The two buildings of the cafe, the main building and a row house with a room for guards to live in, have been designated Cultural Properties and groups of 10 or more with an advance reservation can enjoy a meal in the tatami mat room of the main building while gazing at the site's Japanese garden.

    Cycled past here in the rain, went in. Delicious curry - only 2 options, veg curry or chicken curry when we went, which suits me just fine. Warm inside, chef and host spoke English well, great music...

    Kagawa Pref. Shouzugunshoudoshimachou Nishimura A: 1941-1

    お昼のメニューは3種類(ピザ、リボッタリースープとパン、チリンドロン トショウスルワンプレート)しかなく、どれもどこかで調理してきた袋詰からお皿に乗せて電子レンジでチンをし温卵と野菜を乗せた極簡単なもので、その場で調理をしたのでないと思う。味が良いなら許されるが、どれも美味しくなく、これなら国道沿いのうどん店のほうがよっぽどまし。結構お客はやってくるのが建物や景色にだまされているのではないだろうか...

    It’s like the nightmare before Christmas but the cafe serves a limited lunch menu and excellent coffee. The dry curry cutlet Pilaf rice was good and so was the pizza. The staff do not speak much...

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.
