Ritsurin Garden
Used as a villa by the Matsudaira clan of Takamatsu, Ritsurin Garden was completed nearly 300 years ago by successive generations of feudal lords who renovated it. While the sprawling strolling garden covers 16 hectares, the total area of this park, including Mount Shiun in the background, extends to an impressive 75 hectares!
Such a peaceful place. As soon as you walk in, you automatically slow down. The little bridges, flowing water, pine trees, and ponds—every view feels so poetic.
