Sakaide City, located in the center of Kagawa Prefecture, faces Takamatsu City, Marugame City, and Okayama Prefecture across the Seto Inland Sea. Its proximity to Takamatsu City, the prefecture's capital, makes it an extremely convenient location. With quick access to Okayama Station and Takamatsu Airport, it attracts many tourists from both within and outside the prefecture. The coastal area is flat, and the Aya River serves as the source of many rural landscapes. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the area is blessed with a rich natural environment. Many events and sporting competitions are held here throughout the year. The Sakaide Ohashi Festival, held in August, attracts many visitors, centered around the Seto Ohashi Bridge.
