01｜Chichibugahama Beach | Kagawa's Version of the Salar de Uyuni

At low tide, the sight of the water's surface reflecting the sky like a mirror is truly breathtaking. At dusk, the sky is dyed orange and pink, and your silhouette reflected in the water mirror makes for a fantastical shot.

• Best Time: One hour around low tide / the hours when the sun sets (especially spring through autumn)
• Shooting Tip: Aiming from a very low angle right at the water's surface creates a spectacular composition where sky and earth melt together. Making the subject a backlit silhouette is the photogenic key
• Access: Nio-cho, Mitoyo City; about 15 minutes by car from the "Mitoyo-Kamoshima IC" on the Takamatsu Expressway

02｜Shodoshima, Angel Road | A Path of Sand Where Angels Walk

A sandbar path that emerges from the sea only twice a day at low tide. The sight of a slender sand path stretching across the emerald-green sea is just like a world of fantasy. The figures of loved ones walking hand in hand also make a picture.

• Best Time: At low tide from a sunny morning to early afternoon (spring to early summer offers ideal sea clarity)
• Shooting Tip: An overhead shot looking down from the elevated observation deck is standard. The view from behind of someone walking from atop the sandbar toward the horizon is also romantic
• Access: About a 15-minute walk from Tonosho Port

03｜Zenigata Sunae (Kan'ei Tsuho) | Giant Art Carved into the Sandy Beach

Looking down from the summit observation deck of Kotohiki Park, a giant coin design drawn in white sand, 122 meters in diameter, stands out clearly. This mysterious art, calculated to appear as a perfect circle depending on the viewing angle, is a one-of-a-kind photogenic experience.

• Best Time: Early morning or evening when the light is soft (shadows appear and add a sense of depth)
• Shooting Tip: A head-on angle from the observation deck is basic. The wider you shoot, the more beautifully the entire sand picture fits in frame
• Access: About 10 minutes by car from Kanonji Station, or about a 30-minute walk

04｜Okushi Nature Park Observation Deck | A Blue Spectacle Overlooking the Seto Inland Sea

From this observation deck located in the northeastern part of Takamatsu City, you can take in the islands of the Seto Inland Sea and the clear blue water at a glance. The panorama where the blues of the sky and sea overlap creates an overwhelming sense of openness when shot with a wide-angle lens.

• Best Time: Morning to midday (light hits the sea surface and sparkles brilliantly)
• Shooting Tip: Placing a fence or tree in the foreground as a frame increases the sense of depth. The contrast of blue and white on a sunny day is the best
• Access: Mure-cho, Takamatsu City; about 30 minutes by car from central Takamatsu

05｜Mt. Shiudeyama | A Spectacular View of Cherry Blossoms Floating Above a Sea of Clouds

In spring, cherry blossoms color the area near the summit, and on clear days a spectacular view overlooking the Seto Inland Sea unfolds. When conditions align, morning mist covers the sea surface, and you may encounter a fantastical scene where the islands seem to float above the clouds.

• Best Time: Early morning during the full-bloom period of late March to early April
• Shooting Tip: The "bokeh-circles x spectacular view" composition, blurring the cherry blossoms in the foreground and placing the Seto Inland Sea in the background, is hugely popular on social media
• Access: Takuma-cho, Mitoyo City; about 20 minutes by car from the Mitoyo-Kamoshima IC (you can access by car up near the summit)
