Hi, I’m Tabi!

Utazu is a town on Kagawa’s Seto Inland Sea coast. Choose a hillside temple or the waterfront park. Check access from the JR Utazu Station area and return transport, allowing for slopes and coastal weather.

This guide covers places within Utazu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
