Its main characteristics are its warm climate and beautiful scenery of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea, and these factors have fostered a variety of agricultural products, food culture, and unique culture and art. It is famous for producing agricultural products such as olives and kiwis that take advantage of the climate, as well as Wasanbon, and is also known as the “Udon Prefecture,” which is recognized by both itself and others as having the highest number of udon shops and amount of money spent per capita in Japan. It is being
Kagawa is also known as the “Art Prefecture,” and the Kagawa Prefectural Office (currently Kagawa Prefectural Office East Building), designed by Kenzo Tange and completed in 1958, is a masterpiece of government building construction in which famous artists, designers, and local craftsmen were involved. It is so famous that it was designated as a national important cultural property in 2022. Since 2010, the Setouchi International Art Festival has been held once every three years on the islands of the Setouchi Inland Sea. It has been highly praised both domestically and internationally, and has welcomed many visitors. In addition to the art field, Kagawa’s lifestyle items that brighten up our daily lives are attracting attention, as crafts and local products rooted in history dating back to the Edo period also have unique designs and practicality.
