The tour was conducted in Chinese, which I didn’t know beforehand, haha! So I couldn’t really understand any of the explanations since everything was in Chinese. Other than that, I’m still glad I joined this tour because visiting these three destinations on my own would have been quite difficult. Overall, it was a convenient way to see all three places in one day!

For families traveling to Japan with both seniors and children, chartering a car is the most convenient option. Our driver, Mr. Cui, was very thoughtful. He helped us adjust our initial itinerary into a smoother route and took us to restaurants that only locals know about. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Ms. Nakatani, for your meticulous care, especially for your thoughtful and thorough attention to the elderly members of our group. Your explanations of the attractions and scheduling demonstrated exceptional professionalism. We were fortunate to have your care this time and hope for another opportunity to meet again. Wishing you peace and joy.

This pass was really great value for money and I used it well. It's excellent for the price, and I'd love to visit Shikoku again in the second half of the year. Although some people might not know, you can use it on all buses except for a few in very rural areas, and seating is generally open.

With this JR Pass, I traveled to multiple places like Hiroshima, Okayama, Takamatsu, Kobe, and Osaka within 7 days, which was incredibly cost-effective!!! Included transportation services: Shinkansen Pass coverage area: Northern Kyushu, Chugoku, Kansai

I was able to efficiently visit Matsuyama Station, Shimonada Station, Uchiko Station, and Iyo-Ozu Station by carefully checking the train schedule. It would have been even better if it hadn't rained. It's a shame I couldn't fully explore Ozu Castle due to my flight schedule, as there was a gap of over two hours between trains from Ozu Station.

On this independent trip to Okayama, Hiroshima, and Takamatsu, Japan, booking the JR PASS directly on Klook was truly convenient! Purchasing the physical exchange voucher or electronic ticket beforehand made picking them up on-site quick and smooth. This PASS offers an extremely high value for money. Not only does it allow unlimited rides on designated JR Shinkansen and limited express trains in the coverage area, but it also provides free access to local branch lines like the Kibi Line (Momotaro Line). Getting in and out of stations is as simple as swiping through the automated ticket gates, which saves time from queuing up to buy tickets each time. Traveling with family this time made our itinerary much more flexible. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to the San'in-San'yo or Shikoku regions. I will definitely continue purchasing through Klook the next time I visit Japan!

The hotel's location right next to the JR station is excellent for travelers using a rail pass, offering convenient transportation. The service and cleanliness are also very good. However, the breakfast is just okay and only served until 10:00 AM. Check-out time is 11:00 AM. Overall, if you have a generous budget, this hotel is a good choice. If you're looking to save some money, you might consider the inn next door.

What to know before visiting Takamatsu

Quick overview of Takamatsu and what travellers book

Takamatsu is a compact city where cultural experiences, guided tours and short cruises feature strongly in visitor plans. Demand on Klook peaks in April and falls to its lowest in February, so the rhythm of the year swings between a busy spring and a much quieter late winter.

Best times to visit and how prices behave

According to Klook booking data, April is the busiest month while February sees the lightest demand. Prices, however, follow a slightly different pattern: they are typically highest in December and dip to their lowest in August. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, August and February are the calmer, more budget-friendly months; if you want the peak-season atmosphere and the liveliest local events, April is the month to aim for. Note that demand and price do not move in perfect sync here—April is busiest but not the priciest, and December is the priciest even though demand peaks elsewhere.

Tips for travellers

Most visitors book their activities around ten days ahead on average, with many last-minute bookings within a few days—so a short, flexible planning window works well. For travel in April’s busy period, consider booking a bit earlier (up to around three weeks) to secure popular cultural experiences and tours. Use Klook to compare and lock in tours and cultural activities when your plans firm up, especially for peak-month travel.
