A Week in Kagawa
Discover a different sense of time
Unlocked Experiences
My Kotohira
Go beyond the famous steps and discover Kotohira through the people who call it home. Stay in the heart of town, follow old pilgrimage stories, meet brewers and makers, and create your own connections to a place where tradition and new ideas share the same streets.
Experiences
The Land Behind the Town
Say goodbye to Kotohira and enter Manno’s working countryside. Walk through bamboo landscapes with the people restoring them, taste what grows nearby and slow down among fields, farms and mountains. This is rural Kagawa as it is lived – not staged for visitors.
Experiences
The Temple by the Sea
At the edge of the Seto Inland Sea, an ancient temple holds stories of Kūkai, his mother and the origins of a pilgrimage. Explore Kaigan-ji with a local guide, walk between hillside halls and beach, and discover why sacred journeys sometimes begin beside the water.
Experiences
Follow the Inland Sea
Set out from Suda Port and see the Shonai Peninsula from the perspective that shaped it. Travel with a local captain past fishing villages, wooded headlands and small islands, letting the weather and tide reveal a quieter side of life on the Seto Inland Sea.
Experiences
Mountain, Sea and Sky
Rise above the Shonai Peninsula at Mt Shiude, where islands scatter across the horizon and ancient stories remain underfoot. Descend for a meal beside Chichibugahama, then stay until sunset turns its tidal pools into mirrors of sea, sky and light.
