By Kotoden trains

Trains depart from Takamatsu-Chikko Station, located a few steps from JR Takamatsu Station and next to Takamatsu Castle, and travel to Kotoden Kotohira Station. The one way trip takes about an hour, costs 610 yen, and trains depart every 30 minutes. Kotoden trains are not covered by the Japan Rail Pass.

Orientation

JR Kotohira and Kotoden Kotohira Stations are located a few steps away from each other in the center of town and within walking distance of Kotohira's attractions. The steps to Kompirasan Shrine begin about a ten minute walk southwest of the train stations. Kanamaruza Theater is located about 200 meters off the approach to Kompirasan.

Alternatively, buses depart hourly from both railway stations for Kompirasan Shrine. Buses go as far as the main gate of the shrine about halfway up to Kompirasan's main hall. The one way fare is 500 yen per person, and reservations must be made in advance (0877-73-2221).
