Takamatsu Spa is a thermal wellness facility in Takamatsu, the prefectural capital of Kagawa on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea in Shikoku, where siliceous mineral waters provide therapeutic bathing in a city famous for the exquisite Ritsurin Garden — one of Japan's finest historical strolling gardens — and its position as the gateway to the islands of the Seto Inland Sea Art Festival. The siliceous waters, characteristic of the geothermal system of Shikoku's Sanuki limestone and granite geology, offer the skin-softening and muscle-relaxing properties that have made siliceous onsen among the most prized in Japan. Takamatsu's thriving food culture centered on Sanuki udon noodles and the artistic vitality of the contemporary art islands of Naoshima and Teshima accessible by ferry make this coastal Shikoku city a multifaceted destination for cultural and wellness tourism.
