Shikoku Aquarium

**Go in the late afternoon.** The outdoor tanks sit level with the Inland Sea behind them and the light off the strait in the last two hours is what the design was built for. **It extends its hours in summer.** To half past seven in the school holidays and nine in Golden Week and Obon. Evening visits are a different experience. **It is organised by water, not by animal.** Rivers of the four prefectures, the shallows, the Inland Sea, the Pacific. Reading the sequence in order makes the geography of Shikoku legible. **Twelve minutes from the station.** Which makes it one of the few major attractions in Kagawa that genuinely does not need a car. **The Great Seto Bridge is overhead.** The park it sits in is the viewpoint for the bridge, and the two are the same stop.
