It's very close to the station, and also very close to the aquarium and shopping mall. The location is great, and breakfast is included. Highly recommended!

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.

A great experience! Not too crowded, making it easy to explore. The scheduled talks and performances inside the venue were also excellent.

Conclusion: A venue quite suitable for both adults and children, not too crowded. Venue: The aquarium is mainly divided into outdoor and indoor areas. Outdoor: Dolphins/Penguins/Seals/Penguins/Instagrammable photo spots/... Indoor: Aquariums/Various fish/King crabs/Pearl opening experience (fee applies) Impressions: (1) Low crowd density, very comfortable to stroll around, the overall space is not too big. (2) Some animals don't have much living space, but seeing the manta ray's "smiling face" always brings a smile to your face. (3) A surprising highlight is being able to watch the baby dolphin show from a very close distance (standing by the pool), and there are very few spectators, so it's not crowded. (4) Klook tickets are basically the same price as buying them on-site, but discount coupons/rewards are available.
