Takamatsu Wi-Fi guide

If you’re travelling a foreign country as a tourist you often don’t understand the language and it’s hard to get by, even in easy situations. You also most likely don’t own a domestic Sim-Card and have access to mobile Internet so you need to rely on free Wifi around the city from shops and stores. The Takamatsu city government understood this fact and provides free Wifi in a lot of different places around town.
In this guide we want to explain how you can easily access the free Wifi in and around Takamatsu.

KAGAWA-Wi-Fi

The first one is the Wi-Fi which is provided by the public authorities of the Kagawa prefecture. You can find it at famous tourists spots and train stations.Places where you can find this free Wi-Fi are marked with this sign.
