Takamatsu Airport

Takamatsu Airport (TAK), opened in the 1950s, is a compact regional airport serving Kagawa Prefecture on Japan’s Shikoku island and acting as the main gateway to Takamatsu and nearby Seto Inland Sea islands like Shodoshima. The single-terminal facility handles mostly domestic routes with occasional international charters, giving it a friendly, easy-to-navigate feel. It’s about a 20–30 minute drive or express bus ride from Takamatsu city center and links well with local buses and highways rather than direct rail. Generally budget-friendly compared with larger Japanese hubs, TAK is served by major carriers ANA and JAL alongside low-cost airlines such as Peach and Jetstar, making it a good option for cheap flights to Shikoku.
