What to do in Takamatsu, a shopping, art and seaside hotspot on Japan’s Shikoku island

The made-for-Instagram descent into Takamatsu Airport follows the coast of Japan’s Shikoku island for several minutes before dipping down onto the runway and terminal where there is likely to be only a single other aircraft.

Immigration is almost spookily free of other passengers, while the drugs detector dog gambolling about baggage reclaim looks as if he would be perfectly content to run and fetch a frisbee.

This seems not so much an airport as an aviation-themed de-stress resort.

It is just a few steps – past airy lounges dotted with armchairs designed by artisanal woodworker George Nakashima – into the fresh air and the panorama that looks down onto the city proper.
