Amazing tours are planned in Kagawa by the “Setouchi Sorabus,®” which is open-top double-decker bus without a roof! There are 3 courses which you can enjoy Kagawa. One course is a tour which you can enjoy the night view from Yashima. Other two courses are crossing the Seto Ohashi Bridge which connect Sakaide City in Kagawa Prefecture and Kurashiki City in Okayama Prefecture.
