Takamatsu

Coming to Shikoku almost certainly means a trip through cosmopolitan Takamatsu, a city whose urban verve doesn't compromise the relaxed down-home atmosphere; a short walk down the city's wide, sunlit boulevards brings you to funky shops, artsy cafés, an exciting nightlife, a bevy of dazzling cultural sights, and a friendly local population not afraid to share it all with you.
