Walking among the meticulously trimmed pine groves, this historic daimyo garden perfectly captures the charm of a new view at every step. The lotus pond and Engetsu-kyo Bridge reflect on the clear water, and the harmony and tranquility of the scene are simply breathtaking.

A wonderful garden. If you have time, you can book a kimono experience at the Kacho-tei inside the garden, with everything included from the outfit to hair and makeup. Walking through the Japanese garden in a kimono feels completely natural and full of Japanese charm.

If you’re visiting Takamatsu, this Michelin-starred spot is a must-see. The garden is full of rare pine trees, all carefully maintained by experts. I recommend coming during cherry blossom season in March or April.

I walked all around the park and enjoyed so many beautiful views. If you climb up to a higher spot, you get an even clearer look at everything.
