As part of my 17 night trip I would like a relaxing stop in between the cities and like the idea of Shikoku and the art islands such as Neshima and Taoshima. I will be travelling in May, outside the Setouchi festival.
I have 3 nights and will be travelling by JRpass. Is Takamatsu reasonable as I can have easy access to the ferries? It seems a bit built up and in some ways I would prefer somewhere a bit more rural/coastal.
Any ideas?
Thanks

For Teshima there are many ways you can do it, See:

Any thoughts about the best base?
Ultimately I can't decide for you - if your sole interest is the islands, I'd say Okayama City. For overall places though, I'd say Takamatsu offers more.
You can see some videos of the places I mention on
