Things to do in Kagawa

Mild spring and autumn suit the museum, outdoor works and coastal paths. Ferry and shuttle times still control the day.

November is the main late-autumn planning month for Kankakei's ropeway and cliff views. Coordinate ferry, island bus and ropeway times before leaving the mainland.

Autumn foliage is a seasonal highlight; timing and colors vary each year. Bring warm layers and consult current local seasonal reports. Allow time for a slow circuit. Boat rides, tea houses and evening openings have separate arrangements.

Tadao Ando designed much of this Naoshima museum underground so the Seto Inland Sea landscape remains dominant. Natural light shapes galleries devoted to Claude Monet, James Turrell and Walter De Maria; advance timed admission is important.
