About Shikoku Railway Tour - 2 Days

Unlock the charm of Kagawa Prefecture with the 2-Day JR Kagawa Minirail and Ferry Pass, your ultimate ticket to seamless island hopping and scenic train rides. Glide across the Seto Inland Sea to Shodoshima and explore historic Takamatsu without worrying about individual fares, making this pass a must-have for stress-free Shikoku adventures.

Local Legends & Stories

The Kotoden railway lines have been the lifeline of Kagawa for over a century, weaving through towns famous for the legendary pilgrimage routes of the Shikoku 88 Temple Trail. Locals believe that riding the early morning ferry across the Seto Inland Sea brings good fortune, a tradition tied to the ancient sailors who navigated these waters.

Must Do Experiences

Ride the Kotoden Kotohira Line to visit the historic Konpira Shrine and enjoy authentic Sanuki udon in Kotohira.
Take the Shodoshima Ferry to explore the stunning olive groves and cinematic landscapes of Shodoshima Island.
Cruise along the Seto Inland Sea on the Takamatsu Port Liner for breathtaking sunset views over the water.
Hop on the Kotoden Nagao Line to discover local Kagawa neighborhoods and hidden artisan shops.

Hidden Gems

Use the Shodoshima Olive Bus included in your pass to reach secluded coastal viewpoints that most tourists miss when sticking to the main ferry terminals.
Ride the vintage-style Kotoden trains which feature charming retro interiors and unique station stamps perfect for travel journaling.
Stop at Kanonji via the JR Yosan Line to photograph the iconic Zenigata Sunae, a massive coin-shaped sand sculpture best viewed from the nearby hilltop.

What Makes it Special

Seamlessly combines both railway and ferry transport into one convenient pass, eliminating the need to juggle multiple tickets across different operators.
Offers exceptional value for money by covering the relatively expensive Seto Inland Sea ferry crossings to Shodoshima alongside unlimited local train rides.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Early mornings are ideal for catching the first ferries to Shodoshima to beat the crowds and enjoy calm seas, while late afternoons offer the best lighting for train photography. Autumn and spring are the most comfortable seasons to visit Kagawa, offering mild weather and stunning seasonal foliage or cherry blossoms along the railway tracks.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Capture the iconic red and white Kotoden trains against the backdrop of Mount Iino, famously known as the Fuji of Sanuki, during the golden hour.
Head to the top deck of the Shodoshima Ferry for unobstructed, panoramic shots of the Seto Inland Sea islands and passing cargo ships.
Visit the retro wooden station buildings along the Nagao Line in the soft morning light to avoid harsh shadows and capture nostalgic architectural details.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When riding the local Kotoden trains, keep your voice down and ensure your phone is on silent mode, as Japanese commuters value a quiet and peaceful transit environment. It is customary to queue orderly at the ferry boarding gates and allow passengers to disembark fully before you step onto the boat.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

The Shodoshima Olive Harvest Festival in autumn offers unique seasonal bus routes and local market experiences accessible via your included Olive Bus pass.
During the summer Obon season, the Takamatsu Port area comes alive with spectacular fireworks displays that you can easily access using your pass.
Spring brings the Kagawa Udon Festival, where special event trains and ferry discounts often coincide with local culinary celebrations.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Always stand behind the yellow tactile paving lines on train platforms and mind the gap when boarding older train carriages.
Hold onto the handrails firmly when moving around the ferry, especially on the outdoor decks where the floor can become slippery from sea spray.
Keep a close eye on your personal belongings and luggage lockers at busy transit hubs like Takamatsu Port and Takamatsu Station.

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

This 2-day pass offers a highly cost-effective flat rate that covers unlimited rides, making it significantly cheaper than buying individual train and ferry tickets. Child discounts are available for passengers aged six to eleven, while children under six travel for free when accompanied by a pass-holding adult.

Visit Duration

The pass is valid for two consecutive days, which is the perfect amount of time to dedicate one full day to exploring Takamatsu and Kotohira, and the second day to island-hopping around Shodoshima. If you are short on time, prioritize the Kotoden Kotohira Line for a quick cultural fix and the Shodoshima Ferry for the best scenic views.

Accessibility

Major stations like Takamatsu and the main ferry terminals are fully equipped with ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms for wheelchair users. However, some smaller rural stations and older ferry vessels may have limited accessibility, so it is advisable to check specific route details in advance.
