Takamatsu is one of the main cities on Shikoku, Japan's smallest major island. In this video, you'll see some of the main things to do in town.

Takamatsu has a significant samurai heritage, with historical connections to prominent samurai clans such as the Matsudaira. We visit 3 locations linked to the family: their castle (considered one of the 3 great sea castles of Japan), their villa (today, Japan's largest garden), and their temple (one of the most impressive Buddhist temples in the entire country).

We also visit the islands of Ogijima and Megijima, while relaxing at a hotel with a private onsen in our room overlooking the city. Last but not least, this is also the udon capital of Japan, so a visit to Takamatsu and Kagawa Prefecture is never complete without trying udon... multiple times!

Thanks to the city of Takamatsu for inviting us to experience an authentic Japan and for supporting our work by sponsoring this video.

► WHO AM I?

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!

P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he's actually camera-shy. That's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉
