A path starting beside the main building will bring you to the observation deck. There's also direct vehicle access to the platform. It's said looking down on the Sand Coin will ensure a long, healthy, and financially prosperous life.

  • Shishi no Reigan Lookout
    Travel / Tourism
    Kagawa Pref. Takamatsushi Yashimahigashimachi
    This lookout got its name from a boulder beneath it that's thought to look like a mythical shishi lion roaring toward the sea. The lookout has a superb view of Takamatsu City and the Setouchi islands. You can also take part in a tradition there known as Kawarake-nage to invite good luck and ward off ill fortune.

    Travel / Tourism
    Kagawa Ayauta-gun Utazucho 2719-1
    This observatory is located on the grounds of the St. Angeline wedding venue. Easily accessible by car, the observatory offers a sweeping view of the Great Seto Bridge and the islands in the Seto Inland Sea. The observatory’s dynamic scenery has been included in the Japan Nightscape Heritage list and, on clear days, visitors can see all the way to Okayama Prefecture across the sea. Also a designated Lover's Sanctuary, the observatory has a fence covered with countless “love vow locks” placed on it by couples as a sign of the strength of their love for each other. In addition, the area is a renowned cherry blossom-viewing destination, and in the spring when the trees are in bloom, the observatory bustles with tourists and local residents.

  • Washigamine Observatory
    Travel / Tourism
    Kagawa Takamatsu-shi Megicho
    This is the observatory where it is said that oni ogres once resided. At 188-meter elevation, it is just beyond the Onigashima Cavern. Although not a remarkable elevation for an observatory, because of the unencumbered view, visitors have a panoramic view including Takamatsu Harbor to the south, Ogi Island to the North, Nao Island to the west and Shodo Island to the east. Beneath ones feet is a directional map naming all of the islands in view. In the springtime, the whole island is enveloped in cherry blossoms. Many visitors come to enjoy the magnificent scenic view of the archipelago combined with the beauty of the cherry blossoms.

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.
