Gateway to the Art Islands
Takamatsu Port is a place worth a visit in Takamatsu, Kagawa. Travel through its seasons and highlights across 1 on-location videos before you visit.
Takamatsu Port is the main gateway to the art islands of the Seto Inland Sea—Naoshima, Teshima, Ogijima, Megijima and more—where ferries set out across calm, island-dotted waters. The waterfront itself is part of the art experience: Kohei Nawa's mirror-finished columns 'Liminal Air -core-' rise by the quay, and the glass-block red lighthouse 'Setoshirube' glows at night. Especially during the Setouchi Triennale, the port brims with travellers bound for the islands.
