Kagawa (Province) Hotels and Accommodation

Kagawa prefecture, located on the island of Shikoku, is Japan's smallest prefecture. The prefectural capital Takamatsu is famous for its tasty Udon noodles. The Kagawa area boasts two feudal castles dating from the 16th century: Marugame Castle and Takamatsu Castle. Tourists can step into the dramatic past by visiting these fascinating historical sites. One of the area’s most famous temples is Kompirasan or Kotohiragu. This temple is located at the top of 800 steps and boasts a wonderful panorama. It is best visited in the afternoon, when the fading light adds ambience to the beautiful temple surrounds. I can even be seem from some of the Kagawa hotels!

Kagawa has one of Japan's oldest surviving Kabuki playhouses. It still has infrequent performances, but when the theatre is not being used, visitors can explore the backstage trap doors and revolving stage. Ritsurin Koen park in Takamatsu is considered one of Japan's most beautiful parks and is a great place to enjoy a picnic.
