Easy to use, you can buy it and use it on the same day. You can redeem it at the jr green window. You can use limited express train reserved seats to visit many sightseeing spots. Zuqiao is a big step. Tokushima Whirlpool, etc., a must-see if you don’t drive by yourself or if you like train travel.

This Shikoku JR pass is different from other JR passes. You cannot reserve reserved seats. You can only choose unreserved seats on a first-come, first-served basis. Fortunately, there are many unreserved seat carriages, and reserved seats generally only have one card! You should buy this ticket if you travel long distances. Because the Shodoshima Ferry Bus and the municipal electricity in various cities are free, if you take the Matsuyama Loop Line in the wrong direction, you can get off and get on again if you have a pass. This seven-day Takamatsu trip to Azuki, Imabari, Matsuyama, Osu, Yawatahama, Marugame, Kochi and other places is worth the money...

The location is good. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel and Hyogo-dori opposite. It is very convenient for eating and shopping. It is not far from Takamatsu Station. It is a good place to stay in Sawa.
