Shipping to Takamatsu and Shikoku
Takamatsu is the capital of Kagawa Prefecture and the main city of north-eastern Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's four main islands. Its port on the Seto Inland Sea connects Shikoku with Honshu by bridges and ferries.
Choose Takamatsu for consignees in Kagawa and Tokushima prefectures. For western Shikoku, compare Matsuyama or Imabari. Takamatsu is known for its udon noodles and as a gateway to the art islands of Naoshima and Teshima, and local customs brokers handle the modest volume of international cargo efficiently.
Practical tips. The Great Seto Bridge links Shikoku with Okayama on Honshu, so cargo can also be collected from Mizushima if that rate is better. Takamatsu is compact, and most residential areas are easy for small trucks to reach. Register your address at the city office soon after arrival, and keep the unaccompanied-articles declaration for customs.
