Yakushiyu Onsen Ryokan Takeyashiki

Takeyashiki offers a garden-centered stay in the Sanuki countryside. Summer camellias and hydrangeas are among the seasonal highlights, bringing changing color to the grounds and a reason to spend time around the inn rather than treating it simply as an overnight stop.

Twelve rooms are complemented by a communal bath using alkaline mineral spring water. The accommodation follows a traditional inn format, with breakfast and dinner served in a shared hall or dining area.

The garden is the property’s clearest individual feature, and the experience is best approached at an unhurried pace. Takeyashiki suits guests looking for a small countryside lodging in Kagawa, a mineral-water soak and a connection to the season through the grounds. Flowering periods vary with the weather, so the garden changes from one visit to the next.
