Things to do in Takamatsu Airport
Takamatsu is the gateway to Shikoku and home to Ritsurin Garden — one of Japan's finest strolling gardens, with tea houses, koi ponds, and a sculpted pine-covered landscape that rewards a slow visit. The city is also the undisputed world capital of sanuki udon, thick wheat noodles served cheap and fast at hundreds of local shops. A short ferry from Takamatsu Port reaches Naoshima Island, famous for its world-class contemporary art installations and Yayoi Kusama's iconic polka-dot pumpkin sculptures.
