Fantastic 5.0
Many thanks to team leader Xiaohua! This was my first time on this tour, and I truly felt the dedication of both the leader and the travel agency. It was incredibly thoughtful and offered amazing value for money! I highly recommend it, especially for travelers who enjoy independent exploration but prefer not to drive. The tour covers three scenic locations without any forced sales pitches. Walking across the Iya Vine Bridge felt like a reminder to slow down, and the nearby waterfall was a truly refreshing experience. The grilled sweetfish and grilled mochi that the team leader privately recommended were also definitely worth trying—I personally thought they were delicious! The boat ride at Oboke Gorge was very comfortable; the boat was stable, and admiring the beauty of the canyon helped me escape the hustle and bustle and clear my mind. For the final attraction, the timing for the Naruto Whirlpools was perfect. Of course, I paid extra to witness the beauty of one of the world's three great whirlpools. The boat ride was very safe, and it brought a beautiful end to this trip (I recommend checking the tide times for the Naruto Whirlpools online beforehand). Thanks again to the team leader and driver! I will definitely join again next time!

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.

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 .

The transportation is very convenient. If you have a lot of luggage or have finished shopping, taking a taxi back to the hotel from the station is quick! It's very close to the central shopping street and the Pokémon Center! The room is also quite clean, and for one person, the size is just right. I had two large suitcases and one carry-on, and I could open one main suitcase without any issues moving around! If I go to Kagawa alone again in the future, I'll definitely stay here!

Absolutely love this place! No flaws at all! The hotel amenities have everything, even free sea salt. The bathtub is huge, and the beverage bar on the first floor is always available for self-service! They even gave me soup packets at check-in. I was super surprised that you can rent so many things!!! If I had to nitpick, the room layout is a bit peculiar, with the sink next to the desk, and the toilet and bathroom are also separate. Cleanliness: Super clean. Hotel location: Less than a five-minute walk from the station. Breakfast: It's a buffet and not crowded at all. Service: Very good and friendly.

This hotel is within view of the Takamatsu Station, super easy to find. It’s in close proximity of many delicious udon spots and the castle. It’s super clean has a lot of amenities, there is also a wonderful view of the city from the observation deck next door.

I highly recommend WeBase. I had a bad experience with another booking and rebooked here, and I'm ultimately satisfied! The room has a separate toilet and shower, which was even better. Taking a half-bath in the tub with warm water really relieved my travel fatigue. If I come to Takamatsu again, I'll definitely stay here!

Great 4.0
16 square meters, 2 rooms, with a decent sense of space. The breakfast was simple and delicious. I originally booked a non-smoking room, but when I checked in around 8 PM on May 16th, room 1109 had a strong smell of smoke all night. I later found out through AI that the entire 11th floor seems to be smoking rooms. Convenience of transportation: Hotel location: Breakfast:

It's just next to the Train Station, about a three to five-minute walk. However, the nearest convenience store is quite far. So, another branch in the downtown area is more convenient. The two branches opened in May 2025. The everything was pretty new inside, even the sound is different from other Tokyo Inn. Even you can adjust to the right, from the yellow to white to warm to cold.

What to know before visiting Takamatsu

Quick snapshot of Takamatsu and what draws visitors

Takamatsu is a compact port city known for cultural experiences, day tours and short cruises, with visitor demand that builds toward the end of the year. Klook booking data shows activity categories skew heavily to cultural experiences, while tours and cruises also appear among top bookings. The city's seasonal rhythm brings a clear high in late autumn and early winter and quieter months in midsummer.

Best months to go and how prices move

Klook data identifies December as the peak month for demand, with July showing the lowest demand. Prices, however, run in roughly the opposite direction: July is the priciest month on past bookings while December typically records the lowest average prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in December; if you want the peak-season atmosphere and livelier visitor numbers, plan for late autumn into December. The main divergence to note is that demand peaks in December while prices are actually lower then compared with midsummer.

Tips for travellers from Singapore

Most travellers from Singapore book around ten days ahead on average, with many last-minute bookings happening within about four days. If your trip is flexible you can often lock in cultural experiences and tours a few days before departure, but for peak-season travel in December it’s wise to plan and book a couple of weeks in advance to secure preferred time slots. Use Klook to check availability and confirm bookings early when travelling in busier months.
