    Kagawa Ayauta-gun Utazu Cho Hamaichibancho 4
    This is a reconstruction of the kind of naturally-flooded saltpans developed in the early Edo period for making salt. It adjoins the Utazu-Umihotaru museum, which presents the history and culture of salt making in Utazu. Very few such working reconstructed saltpans exist in the country, and many area elementary and junior high schools make field trips to it. With a reservation made at least 10 days in advance, families and groups can also try making salt using the facility (note that salt making activities may be cancelled due to weather).

    こちらの「うたづ海ホタル」というのは、道の駅宇多津臨海公園の中心的な施設です。と言っても、こちらの道の駅の売りは、目の前に広がる瀬戸内海の景色だと思います。 海ホタルの横には復元された塩田があって、その塩田の水門などが見所になっていました。昔からの塩づくりの地域らしいと思ったのは、管内に並んでいたたくさんの種類の塩でした。

Kagawa Areas

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.
