Introducing Takamatsu
Takamatsu was founded during the rule of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537–98) as the castle town of the feudal lord of Kagawa, though the city was virtually destroyed during WWII. As a result of its rail link to the island of Honshū, Takamatsu is a popular entry point for Shikoku, and it serves as a good jumping-off point for the last group of temples. The city is also home to Ritsurin-kōen, which is arguably one of the country’s most spectacular Edo-style walking gardens. The city also serves as a base for a number of unique day trips.
