The Kagawa Prefectural Gymnasium, an iconic structure by Kenzo Tange, has served as a sports venue in Takamatsu for over 50 years. Closed in 2014 due to maintenance issues, it faced demolition until a preservation movement emerged. In July 2025, the local government announced a preservation plan, proposing renovation to transform the gymnasium into a hotel and cultural center. This initiative aims to restore the building while providing a self-funded solution to prevent its demolition, catering to both historical and modern community needs.
