Ritsurin Park in Takamatsu: A Michelin Three-Star Attraction with Convenient Transportation

Takamatsu's most famous attraction is the 400-year-old Ritsurin Park. Ritsurin Park is the largest cultural property garden among the national special scenic beauties. It is also rated three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. The park is divided into two routes, north and south, with a total of six lakes and thirteen artificial hills. If time is limited, it is recommended to only visit the southern garden route. You can also take a boat ride and enjoy tea snacks in the park. If possible, you can call to reserve a breakfast porridge, enjoying the tranquil environment with mountains and water while having breakfast is first-rate. The most beautiful spot in the park, in my opinion, is the view from 'Flying Mountain' looking down at 'Crescent Moon Bridge', which is the spot in the first photo. If the weather is good, I believe it will be even more beautiful. Getting to Ritsurin Park is very convenient as it is located in the city center. Taking the bus is the best option, as it stops right at the entrance. If you take the JR or Kotoden train, you will have to walk 500-1000 meters.
