Cherry blossom season here is amazing—the whole hill turns pink! It's also one of the few parks in Tokyo where you can ride a little cable car for free. Super fun!

Mt. Rokko (Rokkosan)
Mt. Rokko (Rokkosan), the prominent peak of the Rokko Mountains, is 931 meters above sea level. With easy access by cable car to the top of the mountain, the mountain is full of various facilities that offer physical activities, romantic nightscapes, and more.
Getting there is really easy, and you can buy a special one-day pass that’s a great deal. The Michelin-rated night view is absolutely stunning! Just remember, it gets chilly at night on the mountain, so bring a jacket.

Aeon Mall Takamatsu
While the Aeon department store occupies the main part of the shopping mall, Aeon Mall Takamatsu also contains numerous shops for fashion, daily items, restaurants, and other services.
There’s a free shuttle bus from Takamatsu Station, and it takes about 30 minutes. Super convenient!

Waraya (Kagawa)
A famous restaurant conspicuous by its thatched roof and water mill. The restaurant is a reconstructed Japanese folk house where one can enjoy eating udon with a sense of Japanese ambience.
Located near the entrance to Shikoku Mura, this restaurant is a historic Japanese building with a working water wheel outside. The udon is delicious, and the tempura is really tasty too.
