Located beside Lake Manno, Japan’s largest irrigation reservoir and a designated national scenic spot, Sanuki Manno National Government Park is the only national park in Shikoku. Spanning roughly 350 hectares, the park is a paradise of seasonal blooms—from tulips and nemophila in spring to hydrangeas and cosmos through autumn, making it a must-visit for budding flower fans.

There’s plenty to see if you’re looking for a more active day: expansive lawns, a large playground, rental bicycles, and a dog park ensure heaps of fun for friends, families and kids alike. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the full-service auto campground, complete with cabins and trailer houses.
Nature lovers will appreciate spots like the dynamic Shoryu Falls, with a 9-meter drop inspired by a rising dragon; the Nature Eco-Garden, which recreates a traditional satoyama landscape; and the peaceful Lake Manno Promenade, ideal for a scenic walk.

Even in winter when flowers are sparse, the park dazzles with over 600,000 lights in a spectacular illumination display. A variety of seasonal events are held throughout the year, and the park is also famous as the venue for MONSTER baSH, a major outdoor summer rock festival in the Chugoku–Shikoku region.

    The lawn is beautiful and really clean.
    Perfect for a walk, just zoning out, or having a picnic.

    There are flowers in spring and autumn leaves in fall, so if you come in the right season, it’s a big plus.
    But the park is huge, so make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes, or your feet will complain first 😂

    This place is huge! There are different flowers to see every season—cherry blossoms and tulips in spring, and the autumn leaves are gorgeous too. The park is super clean and well-maintained, so it's really pleasant to walk around. There's a big lawn for picnics or flying kites. At night during the illumination season, it's so romantic—the whole park lights up like a fairy tale. Highly recommend for families, couples, or friends. You could easily spend the whole day here and never get bored!

    It's not just about the flowers—there are huge lawns, forest trails, slides, and a camping area. It's awesome for families or couples. If you get tired, you can chill at the café in the park. Honestly, it's the perfect way to relax and recharge!
