Takamatsu & Shodoshima | Trip plan for large families

To put 6 in one room in Takamatsu, choose a large tatami room in the city centre near the station and port, or a hotel on Mt Mineyama with dinner and an onsen. From Takamatsu Airport, the airport bus costs ¥6,500 for 6, and its last stop is the ferry terminal for Shodoshima. Shodoshima's Angel Road can be walked only for about 6 hours around low tide, so order your day by the predicted times the town publishes. It is all set out here as stay, transport, things to do and what to know.
