Things to do in Takamatsu

At only around HKD 300 per person, it's still considered good value for money. This price only includes admission to "Iya-no-Kazurabashi Bridge." The driver was very thoughtful, taking us through "Michi-no-Eki Takarada-no-Sato Saita" to admire the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The other two activities ("Oboke Gorge Sightseeing Cruise" and "Naruto Whirlpools Sightseeing Cruise") required an additional payment of JPY 3,500 per person. In Tokushima, we were scheduled for the last sightseeing cruise at 16:20, missing the best time to see the "Naruto Whirlpools." The tour guide was very friendly, polite, attentive, and extremely helpful to the group members. This is a highly recommended day tour to join when visiting Takamatsu.

The guide was nice and professional . She did a very good time arrangement with the driver. The driver was very nice too . We enjoyed the tour very much . It is necessary to have our own car on the island as it is difficult to get public bus or taxi . We do not speak Japanese , with guide and driver , everything went smooth and we could finish most of the itinerary within a day .

This time, I brought my family to Takamatsu, and to easily explore the surrounding attractions, we opted for a private car day tour. This was absolutely the best decision of the entire trip! 🚗 Professional and Warm Local Guide First, I must highly commend our driver! Her service was incredibly professional and attentive. Not only did she drive smoothly the entire way, but she also introduced us to Takamatsu's attractions and local customs like a local friend. What I'm most grateful for is that, based on the day's pace, she specifically recommended we visit **"Zentsu-ji Temple."** This wasn't in our original plan, but she guaranteed it was worth a visit based on her professional experience, and it truly amazed us. It perfectly demonstrated the advantage of flexible adjustments in a private car tour. 📍 Today's Itinerary Highlights First Stop: Slowpoke Park If you're a Pokémon fan or traveling with kids, this place is paradise! There are adorable Slowpoke facilities everywhere, colorful and perfect for photos. This first stop put everyone in a great mood. Second Stop: Konpira-san (Kotohira-gu Shrine) A must-visit shrine in Kagawa, a place you "must visit at least once in your lifetime." Although it requires climbing thousands of stone steps, the shopping street along the way is great for browsing. After reaching the observation deck and overlooking the vast Sanuki Plain, all the effort was worth it! Third Stop: Zentsu-ji Temple (Driver's Top Recommendation!) This is the birthplace of Kobo Daishi, with magnificent architecture and a solemn, peaceful atmosphere. Compared to the bustling Konpira-san, this place offered a sense of tranquility. Walking through the temple, I felt both my body and mind calm down. I'm truly thankful for the driver's insightful suggestion. Fourth Stop: Shikokumura Village The last stop was this place rich in history. The park relocated old folk houses from various parts of Shikoku and even has a miniature "Kazura Bridge" for visitors to experience. Strolling and admiring the ancient buildings felt like traveling through time, providing a perfect end to the day's itinerary. 💡 Summary of Experience We visited four attractions this day, and although the itinerary was packed, we didn't feel tired at all. Thanks to the driver's thoughtful pick-up and drop-off service and professional explanations, we avoided the anxiety of transferring and waiting for transportation, allowing us to fully enjoy each attraction.
