Takamatsu travel guide. Ritsurin Park Takamatsu (高松) [1] is the largest city in Kagawa Prefecture on the island of Shikoku, Japan. Understand[edit] The city developed over many years as a port town and is located at one of the primary entry points into Shikoku and is therefore known as the "Gateway to Shikoku". In recent years, it has also come to be known as the "Udon Kingdom". Climate[edit] July and August can get quite warm. Get in[edit] Before the completion of the Honshū-Shikoku bridges, access between Japan's main island and Takamatsu was limited to sea and air transportation. By plane[edit] Takamatsu has a tiny airport as well but there's only a few places you can get to from it. Buses connect the Takamatsu Airport and Takamatsu Station roughly twice per hour (¥740 one-way; 40 minutes).
By train[edit] Train service between Okayama, on Japan's main island of Honshū, and Takamatsu began operation in 1988 after construction of the Great Seto Bridge, allowing the train line to cross the Seto Inland Sea. Train[edit] Matsuyama travel guide. Dōgo Onsen bathhouse Matsuyama (松山) [1], meaning "pine mountain", is the homely capital of Ehime prefecture.
Quite provincial yet hospitable to travelers, and a hub of business and shopping amongst the lazy calm of the countryside, Matsuyama has much to offer in the way of curious literary and cultural assets. Understand[edit] With a population of 515,000, Matsuyama is the largest city on Shikoku, though still noticeably sleepier than cities of comparable size on the Japanese mainland. The city is situated in a river basin formed by the flow of the Ishite and Shigenobu rivers, and nestled between the Ishizuchi mountain range to the south and Takanawa Mountains to the north. The center of town is Matsuyama-shi Station (松山市駅, "Shieki" for short), south of of Matsuyama Castle, which serves as a hub for local trams, buses, and the private Iyotetsu train line. But Dōgo and its surroundings are better known for their place in another classic Japanese book, Botchan (1906). Climate[edit] Cheap accommodation takamatsu japan. Guest House Matsuyama_top.
