Highlights of Experiencing the Authentic Kagawa

1. Mount Shiude: A harmony of cherry blossoms and sea
The opening features the panoramic views of Mount Shiude, recognized by The New York Times as a must-visit destination. Approximately 1,000 cherry trees overlook the sapphire-blue Seto Inland Sea, representing the essence of spring in Japan.
2. Angel Road: A natural sandbar on Shodoshima
Visible only twice a day at low tide, Angel Road is a sandbar stretching across emerald-green waters. It is introduced as a popular location for couples and photographers, offering a unique natural phenomenon.
3. Kankakei Gorge: One of Japan’s most scenic gorges
Located on Shodoshima, Kankakei Gorge is considered one of Japan’s three most scenic gorges. The video features a ropeway journey through dramatic rock formations and lush greenery shaped by ancient volcanic activity.
4. Seasonal landscapes: From cherry blossoms to hydrangeas
Kagawa’s natural beauty changes throughout the year. In addition to cherry blossoms, hydrangeas in early summer add vibrant color to the mountains, highlighting its appeal as a year-round destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers.
