    Yashima Island, located in the northeastern part of Takamatsu City, was designated as a national historic site and natural monument in 1934, as well as a Setonaikai National Park. The island is covered with horizontal hard rock formations called "mesas," and is surrounded by steep cliffs. Visitors can climb mountains, go hiking, and observe wild birds and plants. The area is full of attractive spots such as the ruins of Yashima Castle and Yashima Temple.
