Highlights
Unlike typical museum visits, this experience focuses on how to read everyday life through architecture rather than simply viewing old buildings. As you walk through carefully designed spaces, you will explore how geography, climate, and local industries shaped the way people lived in different parts of Shikoku. The tour is structured around observation and reflection, with simple questions guiding you to notice details you might otherwise miss. Instead of memorizing information, you will gain a new perspective on how buildings, landscapes, and human activity are connected. With a small group and a thoughtful pace, this tour offers a deeper and more personal way to experience traditional Japan—one that stays with you even after you leave.

Shikokumura Museum is an open-air museum at the foot of Yashima, featuring relocated traditional buildings from across Shikoku. Rather than simply displaying old houses, the site is carefully designed to recreate how people once lived, with each structure placed in a setting that reflects its original environment. As you walk through forest paths, stone roads, and changing landscapes, you can experience how geography, climate, and local industries shaped everyday life in the region.

About Takamatsu
Takamatsu is the port capital of Kagawa on Shikoku's Inland Sea coast, with Ritsurin Garden, ferries to the art islands and Sanuki udon noodles.
Takamatsu is the capital of Kagawa Prefecture, on the northern coast of Shikoku facing the Seto Inland Sea. Ritsurin Garden, a vast Edo-period landscape garden of ponds, pine-covered hills and tea houses set against Mount Shiun, is the city's showpiece. Tamamo Park holds the remains of Takamatsu Castle, built beside the sea so that tide water fills its moat, where sea bream swim.
