Showcasing Kagawa's Beauty with Web3: Nature, Culture, and Art
Rediscovering the Spirit of Japan – A Bridge to Our Future
Japan is a country rich in values that we, as Japanese, often take for granted. However, from the perspective of the world, our culture, traditions, and sense of courtesy are often met with admiration and wonder. These qualities are deeply rooted in the history and values that Japan has cultivated over thousands of years. At the heart of these qualities lies the Japanese Imperial Family, a rare and unique institution in the modern world.
The Imperial Family has a history spanning over 2,500 years, with an unbroken lineage that continues to this day. This remarkable continuity symbolizes Japan's commitment to preserving its traditions while evolving with the times. The existence of the Imperial Family represents more than just a system or authority—it embodies the essence of “Japan’s spirit,” nurtured over countless generations.
Have we begun to overlook this “spirit of Japan”? Everyday practices like orderly conduct at crosswalks, the importance placed on courtesy, and seasonal traditions and customs are seamlessly woven into our daily lives. Yet, from an outsider's perspective, these very aspects are seen as the epitome of Japan's unique beauty and charm.
Discover the Essence of Japan in Kagawa Prefecture

Among its many treasures, Kagawa Prefecture stands out as a destination where you can experience the heart of Japan in a compact and accessible way. Let me take you on a journey through five captivating highlights of Kagawa.
1. The Serene Beauty of the Seto Inland Sea
The Seto Inland Sea is a jewel of Japan, offering a tranquil scene of calm waters dotted with countless small islands. This unique landscape, known as “Tashimabi” or “multi-island beauty,” has captivated visitors for centuries. Some have even compared it to the Aegean Sea, but its charm lies in the harmony between nature and the lives of the island communities. Here, you can truly feel the connection between Japan’s natural and cultural heritage.
