The city hotels near the station and the ryokan up on Yashima plateau are very different in how they serve a family.

JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu, one minute on foot from JR Takamatsu Station, lets preschool-age children share a parent's bed at no charge and has Japanese-style rooms and connecting rooms that sleep up to five. Takamatsu Kokusai Hotel has a wide choice of room types, plus a children's menu that starts at baby-food level and baby beds to borrow.

The business hotels near the station can keep costs down (Takamatsu City Hotel charges ¥1,000 per child), but some have no children's bedding and no large communal bath. Check the co-sleeping conditions and children's rates on each hotel's official site, current as of 2026, before you book.

Travel tips
The area around Takamatsu Station and Sunport Takamatsu is easy to cover on foot, and Ritsurin Garden is a few minutes away by Kotoden (the local private railway) or bus. Yashima is reached by car or shuttle bus up to the plateau, and New Yashima Aquarium is a manageable size for little ones. Ferries to Shodoshima and Naoshima leave from Takamatsu Port, so a hotel near the harbor is convenient on island days. Udon shops are quietest early in the morning and early in the lunch hour, and families will be more comfortable choosing a shop with proper seating.
Best season
Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for walking Ritsurin Garden and Yashima; summer is for swimming off the islands and for the aquariums; and the mild winters suit udon hopping and strolling around town. Ferries to the islands and hotel rooms both fill up during long holiday weekends and the summer school break.
Getting there
About 45 minutes by limousine bus from Takamatsu Airport to JR Takamatsu Station. About one hour from Okayama Station on the Marine Liner rapid train. About 15 minutes by car from the Takamatsu-Chuo interchange to the city center, and about 20 minutes from the city center to Yashima.

expand_more
Yashima no Yado Momotaro, up on Yashima plateau, gives every guest room its own private dining room plus a view bath and a stone bath, so you can eat and bathe without anyone else around. Most hotels near the station have only an en-suite bathtub, so families who care about hot springs or a private bath are better off on the Yashima side.
Is it inconvenient without a car?
expand_more
You can cover the area around Takamatsu Station, Ritsurin Garden, and the port on foot and by Kotoden train and bus. A car makes it easier to reach Yashima, Leoma Resort, or Kotohira, and rental cars are available at the station and the airport.

expand_more
Spring and fall are comfortable for walking the garden and Yashima, and summer brings swimming off the Seto Inland Sea islands and the aquariums. Winters are mild and good for exploring the city on foot. Ferries to Shodoshima and Naoshima and the hotels themselves get crowded during the summer break and long holiday weekends, so book early.
