Where to stay in Takamatsu for udon, the garden and the port

Takamatsu is a practical base for Sanuki udon, Ritsurin Garden and ferry trips across the Seto Inland Sea. A port-side hotel makes early departures easier; a central address puts shopping streets, museums and noodle shops within reach. These 4 stays differ in useful ways, from multiple restaurants to a natural hot spring bath and sauna.

Our selection

How we chose

  • If you are taking a ferry to the islands, compare the walk to Takamatsu Port and JR Takamatsu Station. JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu sits beside the port for a straightforward departure.
  • For a Sanuki udon crawl, central hotels put you closer to shopping streets and more restaurants. Check opening days and hours for individual noodle shops before setting a route.
  • Ritsurin Garden is easy to reach from central Takamatsu by local transport. If a bath matters after a day of walking, choose a hotel with its own natural hot spring rather than assuming every city hotel has one.

Good to know before you book

Ritsurin Garden is a historic landscape garden reachable from central Takamatsu by local train and a short walk. Pair it with Sanuki udon, then leave another part of the itinerary for Takamatsu Port and the Seto Inland Sea islands.

Sanuki udon is a defining taste of Kagawa. The Takamatsu Convention and Visitors Bureau publishes a walk-and-eat map with noodle shops across the city, including places near Ritsurin Garden, so plan around opening hours instead of relying on one famous address.

JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu is beside the port and close to the station; Rihga Hotel Zest and Royal Park Hotel Takamatsu sit in the central shopping area. Dormy Inn Takamatsuchuokoenmae adds a natural hot spring bath and sauna after a full day out.
