Tips

Confirm weather-related cancellations on the official Sanuki Takamatsu Festival announcement on the day. After the event, JR Takamatsu Station and Kotoden Takamatsu Chikkou Station areas become very crowded. Check train and bus schedules in advance; moving around 30-40 minutes after the event ends when congestion has subsided is relatively smooth. Some areas are dimly lit, so use your smartphone's light for safe travel.
