Angel Road on Shodoshima is known for its sandy path that appears only at low tide. It is popular as a romantic spot where it is said that wishes come true if you walk hand in hand with your lover.
Aiming for low tide, capturing a magical shot with the sunset or night sky is recommended. Using models or props can make your photos even more appealing.

Yashima, known as the site of the Genpei War, is a symbolic presence in Kagawa. From the mountain top, you can overlook the islands of the Seto Inland Sea and the cityscape of Takamatsu, with beautiful scenery spreading out in every season. The night view is particularly breathtaking, making it an excellent spot for long-exposure photography.
Additionally, you can enjoy both photography and sightseeing with historical sites like Yashima Temple and the New Yashima Aquarium.

Chichibugahama is a spot where you can take mirror-like photos of the sky and sea, making it perfect for social media. The key is to aim for the magic hour when low tide coincides with sunset.
Silhouette photos reflecting in the calm water pools are particularly popular. Prepare to walk barefoot on the sandy beach and enjoy nature's art.

The Seto Ohashi Bridge, connecting Honshu and Shikoku, is a spot brimming with scale. During the day, enjoy the contrast of the blue sea and white bridge, and at night, capture its fantastically illuminated form.
Using a telephoto lens to capture the details of the bridge and the ships passing by is also a good idea. Don't miss the Seto Ohashi Memorial Park nearby.
