Marugame by train
Marugame is located on the JR Yosan Line, close to where the Seto-Ohashi Bridge links Shikoku with Honshu, the Japanese mainland.
Marugame is served from Okayama, a major stop on the bullet train, every 30 minutes or so by Shiokaze and Nanpu limited express services (about 40 minutes, �2200). Local services leave less frequently and may require a transfer along the way, but are only slightly slower than the limited express. With a direct local train, or by taking a Takamatsu-bound Marine Liner and changing at Sakaide to a local train towards Utazu, you can reach Marugame in about an hour at a cost of just �960.
From Takamatsu, local trains are plentiful, reaching Marugame in about 25 minutes (�540).
Marugame can be used as a base for traveling to Matsuyama (2 hours via Shiokaze limited express, �5700) and Kochi (2 hours via Nanpu limited express, �4600).
The above trips can be taken at no charge with a Japan Rail Pass. Trips entirely within Shikoku are valid with the JR Shikoku Rail Pass, known as the Shikoku Free Kippu.
