TAKAMATSU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT #2
2013年11月29日
Following up on the last blog on Takamatsu International Airport, I’ve added some extra material in the month’s blog, as there was just too much to cover in a single blog. So here we go ..
The airport has a great number of facilities and shops to while away the time and the selection of udon shops and sales of udon to take back as souvenirs from Kagawa are many.
This lovely woman in the previous blog this month, came out to the front of the store to both invite me in and also to explain the menu. Like many Japanese restaurants there are wax displays of food in the windows to help making choices easier. “Why don’t you try our tempura udon?” she asked with a smile and it was easy to tell her friendliness was genuine, so I did.
Another interesting thing is the “dashi tap” sic. We can try free samples. Dashi is the essential sauce for udon and connoisseurs of Japanese cuisine know all the good makers. There are many here in Kagawa including the excellent Kamada dashi stock, which is famous. Dashi is the base of many Japanese dishes, such as soups, dipping sauces, and nimono (simmered dishes).
So when you’re flying in or out of Kagawa the services are all here at this wonderful little and modern airport to take care of any souvenir worries.
I’ll be back soon with more news on Kagawa so please take care against the cold and see you soon!

Takamatsu International Airport
2013年11月14日
In August this year, we 4 bloggers from Taiwan, Korea, China and yours truly from Tasmania were on assignment to cover the Takamatsu International Airport. Gee, this is a beautiful well-appointed airport and whilst not a fulltime international airport, there are an increasing number of charter flights to Taipei, Shanghai & Seoul.
Domestic routes are chiefly to Tokyo’s Haneda (just one hour and 15 minutes) with the major JAL and ANA carriers offering flights from the early morning until around 7:30 p.m. which makes it a very convenient to travel to Takamatsu or to Tokyo with a limited amount of fuss and none of the waiting nor congestion of the bigger airports.
Takamatsu International Airport offers passengers all the facilities you would expect in a larger airport, too. There are of course ATMs, nursing rooms, internet services, police, in fact anything you may need and with a great selection of shops selling local products for those wanting souvenirs from Kagawa.
Some very comfortable flight waiting rooms complete a modern atmosphere and the beautiful design of the building itself. It is all very open, well laid out and makes things easy to find.
A bus service runs from and to the Takamatsu JR central station taking just over 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions. A service to-and-from the airport from Kotohira is also available (please check the site link). From Takamatsu the fare is ￥4,700 which is a tad expensive for a one-way ticket, sorry to say.
The JR station in neighboring Kochi prefecture also run a bus service to Takamatsu Airport. Access from Takamatsu city is easy. From Takamatsu as there are stops on the way including at Youme shopping center on the central street (Chuo dori) which runs due south to the airport from the city.
The bus service is easy to use and a vending machine with easy instructions is also available to use. Courteous & friendly, many of the staff speak English so you won’t have and trouble here at all.
Across from the airport is the wonderful Kodomo no Kuni (Children’s World) which I wrote about in an earlier blog on this post.
I cannot understand why the prefecture doesn’t promote the Children’s World more than they do as it’s a fascinating place to spend an afternoon with or without children with its I-max theater, mountain bike course, which is a very gentle ride.

The Takamatsu International Airport has a lot of great things to while away the time between flights including a flight simulator and as I’d mentioned some wonderful souvenir shops.
There’s even a ‘dashi on tap’ machine that serves dashi, a traditional and famous condiment. Best of all it’s free ..
OK, that’s about it for this week. I’ll be back with more news about our city soon.
