The festival atmosphere hits you as soon as you arrive. The streets are packed with people, all waiting to see the parade floats.

Takamatsu Symbol Tower
Standing 151.3 meters tall, the tower of Takamatsu Symbol Tower is the tallest building in Shikoku. Located just a 5-minute walk from the Takamatsu Port ferry terminal and 3 minutes from JR Takamatsu Station, it is ideally situated as a gateway for exploring Kagawa.
The whole building has a really modern design, and the elevator takes you up to the higher floors in no time. The observation deck offers an amazing view—you can see Takamatsu Port, the Seto Inland Sea, and the city all at once. On a clear day, it's super relaxing. The space inside is clean and comfortable, not crowded or noisy. Overall, it's a chill spot that's great for taking photos and perfect for a casual stroll to enjoy the scenery.

Yomiuriland
Yomiuriland is the historic, representative amusement park of Tokyo that is located in the area spanning across Inagi, Tokyo and Kawasaki, Kanagawa.
The environment is really comfortable, and there are lots of rides you can enjoy. I kind of hope not too many people find out about this park! 🤭

Komezuka
Komezuka, a cone-shaped volcano, is located at the base of Kishimadake, one of the central peaks of Mount Aso's five peaks. This small mountain stands about 80 meters high and is believed to have been formed by an eruption around 3,300 years ago. The slopes are covered with grasslands, turning a vibrant green from spring to summer. In autumn, the slopes glow golden with susuki (Japanese pampas grass), and in winter, they are beautifully blanketed in snow.
This is a famous little mountain in Aso—it looks just like an upside-down bowl of rice, which is super cute and charming! You can't climb it, but it's really impressive to see from the side. The perfectly round shape is so unique. The scenery around here is beautiful too, and it's great for photos. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!
