Kagawa comprises the northeast corner of Shikoku, bordering Ehime Prefecture on the west and Tokushima Prefecture on the south, with a coastline on the Seto Inland Sea facing Okayama Prefecture and the Kansai.
Kagawa is a relatively narrow prefecture between the mountains of Shikoku and the sea.
On January 10, 2006 the towns of Mure and Aji from Kita District, the towns of Kagawa and Konan from Kagawa District and the town of Kokubunji from Ayauta District merged into the city of Takamatsu.
Kagawa Prefecture is situated in the northeastern region of Japan's island of Shikoku, where it occupies an area of 1,883 square kilometers.
Kagawa is bordered by the Inland Sea and by Ehime and Tokushima Prefectures.
Kagawa's main crop long has been rice, later supplemented by cotton, sugar, and salt, of which the prefecture once was the nation's largest source; the salt works were shut down in 1972.

Mitoyo (三豊市; -shi) is a city located in Kagawa, Japan.
As of 2005, the city has an estimated population of 71,178 and a density of 320 persons per km².
The city was founded on January 1, 2006 and is the merger of all seven towns from the former Mitoyo District: Mino, Nio, Saita, Takase, Takuma, Toyonaka and Yamamoto.
Irrigated by the River Koto, protected by Yashima and Goshiki-dai lava mesas, its centre is the political, economic and cultural heart of the region.
In 1965, the Kikuchi Kan Society in Kagawa established the Kagawa Kikuchi Kan Prize.
There are about 500 Bonsai cultivators in Kagawa, especially in Kinashi-cho in Takamatsu and Kokubunji-cho, producing almost 90% of kuro-matsu, nishiki-matsu and goyo-matsu pine trees.
In general at this condition the system mainly consists of two oxides: NiO, Al As the temperature increases up to 700°C shown in Figure 3b the crystalline lattice was not developed considerably.
Therefore the small peak at 470°C in the TPR profile of NiAl spinel represents the reduction of a small amount of NiO, which aggregates on the catalyst surface as an impurity.
The main reason for the peak at a higher temperature lies in the interaction between the aggregated NiO and the surface of the crystal lattice [21].
