The airport limousine bus is the simplest way to get from JR Takamatsu Station to Takamatsu Airport.
However, many travelers find the process confusing:
“Where exactly do I board the limousine bus?”
“Do I need to buy a ticket in advance? If so, where can I purchase it?”
I also got lost the first time I used it, and I often saw travelers asking staff at the tourist information center in Takamatsu Station about the limousine bus.
This article provides a complete step-by-step guide so you won’t get lost when taking the limousine bus from JR Takamatsu Station to Takamatsu Airport.
The airport limousine bus departs from the bus terminal located right next to Takamatsu Station’s north exit plaza.
Note that there is also a bus rotary at the south exit of Takamatsu Station for highway buses, but the limousine bus does not depart from there.
To get from Takamatsu Station to Takamatsu Airport, use the Takamatsu Airport Limousine Bus operated by Kotoden Bus.
It connects JR Takamatsu Station and Takamatsu Airport in about 40 minutes.
The boarding point for the limousine bus is Bus Stop No. 3 inside the bus terminal.
Tickets for the limousine bus can be purchased at the Takamatsu Station Information Office, which is also located near Stop No. 3.
Tickets are available from the vending machines next to the counter. The fare is 1,000 yen for adults and 500 yen for children.
With a ticket, all you need to do is take a boarding slip when getting on and hand both the ticket and slip to the driver when getting off.
If you do not purchase a ticket in advance, you can pay when you get off the bus using cash, nationwide IC transit cards, or credit/debit cards with contactless payment support.
Note that if paying with cash, no change is given, so be sure to prepare exact coins in advance.
For smoother boarding, either buy your ticket beforehand or pay by card when getting off.
The limousine bus schedule changes depending on flight schedules at Takamatsu Airport and is updated about every 2–3 months.
Please check the timetable on the official site of Kotoden Bus - Takamatsu Airport Limousine Bus.
If you arrive at the stop right before departure, there will already be a line of passengers waiting. To secure your preferred seat, such as a window seat or sitting next to your travel companion, it is best to arrive at Stop No. 3 with some time to spare.
Arriving at least 10 minutes early makes it easier to get the seat you want.
The ride from Takamatsu Station to Takamatsu Airport takes about 40 minutes.
The bus stops right at the entrance of Takamatsu Airport, making it convenient to proceed directly to check-in after getting off.
Because departure times are adjusted to match flight schedules, the limousine bus offers excellent connection with flights. It is a direct ride from JR Takamatsu Station to Takamatsu Airport, making it especially convenient for travelers unfamiliar with the area.
For a smooth and time-efficient transfer between Takamatsu Station and Takamatsu Airport, the limousine bus is your best option.
Wishing you an enjoyable trip to Kagawa.
