Route value

Kagawa is treated as a P1 deep route inside Shikoku. The point is not how many places can be listed, but whether the prefecture can become a coherent private route for one party.

Takamatsu, Naoshima, or ryokan bases above JPY 20,000/night is the first operating anchor. WAKO reads drive time, seasonal risk, meal windows, luggage, and return pressure before recommending the order.

Kagawa is the gateway to art-led private Setouchi travel.
