How to get to Takamatsu
All trains from Japan's main island Honshu to Shikoku depart from Okayama and cross the Seto Inland Sea via the Seto-Ohashi Bridge which was completed in 1986. Between Okayama and Takamatsu, there are two hourly rapid trains (kaisoku) taking about one hour and costing 1470 Yen for the one way trip.
