Summer Days in Japan's Port Town, Takamatsu | Ritsurin Garden & Cat Island Ogijima
I spent a slow summer week exploring Takamatsu, one of Japan's most underrated port towns in Shikoku. From eating some of Japan's best udon and wandering through the beautiful Ritsurin Garden, to taking a ferry to the peaceful cat island of Ogijima, this ended up being one of my favourite trips in Japan! The town really looks straight out of a Ghibli movie! If you're planning a trip beyond Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka, Takamatsu makes the perfect base for exploring the Seto Inland Sea and its surrounding islands. 00:35 Rainy Day & Famous Udon Lunch 03:22 Cosy Coffee Shop 04:36 Pokémon centre 05:57 Hotel Tour 06:49 Traditional Kissaten Breakfast 08:23 Exploring Ritsurin Garden 10:59 Izakaya Dinner 12:39 Ferry to Ogijima Cat Island 13:36 Exploring Ogijima 15:15 Toyotama-hime Shrine 16:45 Cat Café with a View 18:34 Walking Around the Island 19:33 Feeding the Island Cats 24:30 Lunch by the Sea 25:42 Heading Back to Takamatsu 26:33 Shopping for Local Souvenirs 🎥 Filmed in June 2026 Hotel: Daiwa Roynet Hotel Takamatsu (#takamatsu, takamatsu japan, #shikoku, shikoku japan, shikoku travel, #japan travel, japan vlog, japan travel vlog, japan travel guide, japan itinerary, hidden japan, underrated japan, summer in japan, solo travel japan, ritsurin garden, ritsurin garden takamatsu, #ogijima, ogijima cat island, cat island japan, seto inland sea, setouchi, setouchi triennale, kagawa, kagawa japan, kagawa travel, udon, sanuki udon, japan food, slow travel, aesthetic vlog, relaxing vlog, peaceful japan, japanese garden, travel japan 2026, 나혼자 일본 소도시 여행 | 다카마쓰에서 2박3일 | 리쓰린 정원 & 고양이 섬 오기지마) » ABOUT ME Hi there!
