Kagawa Prefecture occupies the northeastern tip of Shikoku island, separated from the Chugoku region by the tranquil Seto Inland Sea. Japan's smallest prefecture by area is famous far beyond its modest geography: Sanuki udon noodles are practically a regional religion, the 785-step climb to Kotohira-gu Shrine is a pilgrimage milestone, Ritsurin Garden ranks among Japan's most beautiful stroll-style parks, and the art islands of Naoshima and Teshima have made this quiet sea route an international contemporary-art destination.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Many of Kagawa's best udon shops are in suburban or rural locations — a car rental or the udon taxi service are the most efficient ways to reach them
Udon in Kagawa is always cheaper and fresher than anywhere else in Japan; budget ¥400–700 per bowl
Shodoshima soy sauce is distinct from mass-produced shoyu — smaller bottles (¥600–1,200) make ideal food souvenirs
Wasanbon sugar candy (from Takamatsu confectioneries like Hashimoto Seika) is a uniquely Kagawa sweet using a traditional fine-grain sugar dating to the Edo period
