    Kagawa Marugame-shi Honjimacho Tomari 81
    The Shiwaku Islands, consisting of various small and large islands, were administered by 650 ship's officers under the red seal of Hideyoshi and Ieyasu until the Meiji period (1868-1912). The main building is open to the public as the Shiokaku Historical Museum, where visitors can view red seal certificates, fishing grounds permits, and items brought back from the U.S. by Shiokaku sailors.

    瀬戸内国際芸術祭のときに作品の一部だと勘違いして入って行きました。 入場料は瀬戸芸のフリーパスで割引してくれました。 建物の中に入れるし、展示物も多くてよかったです。 また、かなり綺麗にしてあります。 毎日お手入れされているのがわかります。

This center has been awarded the highest possible 3-star recognition in the French travel guidebook, the Michelin Green Guide, Since its establishment in 1899; this center has been promoting the culture, arts, and industries of Kagawa Prefecture.

It is a traditional Japanese style construction but is interesting in that western influences can already be seen in the applied techniques. The primary characteristic of this historic structure is the symmetry on both sides of the building. In the main section, the history of the park, the best spots to see, and related historical figures are introduced. From the veranda on the south side, one has a beautiful view of the arbore row of manicured hakomatsu pines at the foot of Mt. Shiun.

    香川のお土産がたくさんあるので、お土産に悩んだ際にはこちらに来るといいと思います。また、栗林公園の中にあるので、アクセスもとてもいいです。

    This tea ceremony belvedere is located inside the nationally designated Special Place of Scenic Beauty, Ritsurin Park, and is the most significant structure in the park.

Built during the early Edo period, the Sukiya-zukuri boasts not only an exceptional architectural design but also a panoramic view of the landscaped garden through its sliding doors. One experiences a sense of being surrounded by masterpieces of landscape paintings.

Kagawa Areas

around-area-map

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
