The route

How the day runs

Times are from the moment you step off, not from the scheduled arrival. Everything shifts if your ship is late; the order does not.

  1. +0:00
    Walk to the Hyogomachi and Marugamemachi arcades

    Covered, and among the longest arcade networks in Shikoku

  2. +0:30
    Udon indoors, and coffee

    Kagawa eats udon in any weather and so should you

  3. +1:30
    Ritsurin’s Sanuki Folkcraft Museum

    Inside the garden, and dry. The garden in rain is also quietly lovely

The margin is not optional. This route ends an hour before all-aboard on purpose. If you are running late, drop the last stop, not the hour.
