Economy

Ayagawa is well known within Kagawa prefecture for several notable udon noodle shops, as well as the Takinomiya Tenmangu Shrine. It has suffered a collapse of local businesses due to the construction of a large shopping complex. As a result, the former commercial areas are in a state of decay.

Transportation

Public transport in Ayagawa is limited. There is a shuttle bus service which has stops in various locations around the city; however, the frequency of shuttles is limited to roughly 1 every hour. Ayagawa also contains several train stations along the Kotoden trainline that runs between Takamatsu and Kotohira.

gollark: I checked, I have more but they all break.
gollark: I only have something like three installed as far as I know, and they're all broken.
gollark: I'd kind of expect other people to have noticed and reported this if it is actually a general problem with these versions, since I'm using calibre and qt from the repos.
gollark: I tried downgrading it from 5.14.2 to 5.14.1 or something, but that didn't do anything, and I probably can't downgrade further without just reverting all my package versions to a week or so ago, which is not ideal.
gollark: Anyone know why the Qt-using applications (deepin-screenshot, multiMC, calibre) on my laptop recently started segfaulting after I updated my system?
