Sunport Takamatsu

Sunport Takamatsu (サンポート高松) is a vibrant business and shopping district surrounding both JR Takamatsu Station and Takamatsu Port, just a short walk from the historic Takamatsu Castle and Takamatsu-Chikko Station. This dynamic area has undergone significant transformation in recent years, emerging as one of Japan’s most inviting waterfront promenades. Takamatsu Port was the main gateway to Shikoku until 1988 and now offers regular ferry services to several nearby islands, including Shodoshima, Naoshima, Megijima, and Ogijima, making it a key hub for travelers looking to explore the Seto Inland Sea.

At the heart of Sunport Takamatsu stands the iconic Symbol Tower, the tallest building in the district. This 30-story skyscraper features a shopping center and Maritime Plaza on the lower floors, along with a variety of dining options. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding waterfront from the tower’s upper levels. The area has become an important destination for both locals and tourists, with a spacious pedestrian plaza that connects the train station, hotels, and Symbol Tower, making it a convenient and pleasant place for everyone.
