Takamatsu

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!

Tentoraz sme s rodinou navštívili Takamatsu a pre ľahké preskúmanie okolitých atrakcií sme si vybrali jednodňový výlet s prenajatým autom, čo bolo určite to najlepšie rozhodnutie celej cesty! 🚗 Profesionálny a srdečný miestny sprievodca V prvom rade musím veľmi pochváliť nášho vodiča! Jej služby boli veľmi profesionálne a starostlivé. Počas celej cesty nielenže jazdila plynulo, ale aj nám ako miestna kamarátka predstavovala atrakcie a miestnu kultúru Takamatsu. Najviac som vďačný za to, že nám na základe denného rytmu špeciálne odporučila navštíviť **„Zentsuji“**. Pôvodne to nebolo v pláne, ale vďaka jej profesionálnym skúsenostiam nás uistila, že to stojí za to, a výsledok nás skutočne ohromil. To dokonale odráža výhodu flexibilného prispôsobenia itinerára pri prenájme auta. 📍 Vrcholné body dnešného itinerára Prvá zastávka: Slowpoke Park Ak ste fanúšikom Pokémonov alebo cestujete s deťmi, toto miesto je raj! Všade sú super roztomilé zariadenia Slowpoke, farebné a skvelé na fotenie. Už prvá zastávka nám všetkým zlepšila náladu. Druhý zastávka: Konpira-san Musíte navštíviť svätyňu v Kagawe, ktorú „musíte navštíviť aspoň raz za život“. Hoci musíte zdolať tisíce kamenných schodov, nákupná ulica pozdĺž cesty je skvelá na prechádzky a po vystúpení na vyhliadku s výhľadom na rozsiahlu rovinu Sanuki stojí všetok pot za to! Tretia zastávka: Zentsuji (veľmi odporúčaná vodičom!) Toto je rodisko Kōbō Daishiho, s majestátnou architektúrou a slávnostnou a pokojnou atmosférou. V porovnaní s rušným Konpira-sanom tu vládne väčší pocit pokoja. Prechádzka chrámom mi priniesla pocit pokoja v tele i mysli. Som naozaj vďačný za skvelú radu vodiča. Štvrtá zastávka: Shikokumura Posledná zastávka bola na tomto mieste plnom histórie. V parku boli premiestnené staré ľudové domy z celého Shikoku a je tu aj zmenšená verzia „Kazura Bridge“, ktorú si môžete vyskúšať. Prechádzka a obdivovanie starých budov je ako cestovanie v čase, čo dokonale zakončilo celý deň. 💡 Záverečné myšlienky Počas tohto dňa sme navštívili štyri atrakcie. Hoci bol itinerár plný, necítili sme sa vôbec unavení. Vďaka starostlivému odvozu a profesionálnemu výkladu vodiča sme sa vyhli úzkosti z prestupovania a čakania na dopravu a mohli sme si naplno užiť každú atrakciu.

Sprievodkyňa bola milá a profesionálna. Veľmi dobre zorganizovala čas s vodičom. Vodič bol tiež veľmi milý. Prehliadku sme si veľmi užili. Je potrebné mať na ostrove vlastné auto, pretože je ťažké zohnať verejný autobus alebo taxík. Nehovoríme po japonsky, ale so sprievodkyňou a vodičom všetko prebehlo hladko a väčšinu itinerára sme stihli dokončiť za jeden deň.

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.

1. Please confirm the applicable scope of the pass. Some attractions, such as the Miyajima ferry, require an additional tax. 2. If you have enough stamina, this is definitely an excellent choice for a San'in-Sanyo trip, as you can reserve seats an unlimited number of times (the machine can only reserve same-day seats and only 6 times). Therefore, it is recommended to plan your travel itinerary and have the service center staff assist you with booking all transportation for the current day and beyond, which will save a lot of time. 3. It is advisable to learn how to take local buses, as transportation in some Sanyo areas is not well-developed and requires a combination of luggage storage and buses. 4. If you have large luggage, be sure to store it or drop it off at your hotel first to avoid being refused boarding or delaying others. 5. Stamina is key to making the most of this pass. Wishing everyone good health and a pleasant trip!

This transportation pass is definitely worth buying. You can exchange your voucher at Hiroshima Station, and it allows you to reserve a seat on the Shinkansen six times using a machine. I visited Kurashiki, Onomichi, Fukuyama, Okunoshima, Kure, and Miyajima. For Miyajima, I only had to pay a 100 yen island tax, which was very convenient and practical.

If you're planning to visit Kannonji Temple, I highly recommend buying this ticket. You can also stop in Marugame along the way. However, if you're coming from Kansai and already have the Kansai JR Wide Area Pass, then you might want to reconsider.

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.
