[2025 Takamatsu Attraction] Travel Guide for Ritsurin Garden (Updated Jun)

Ritsurin Garden in Takamatsu, Shikoku, is a famous Japanese garden built in 1625. It is a strolling garden that incorporates rich traditional Japanese gardening techniques, harmoniously blending natural landscapes, buildings, ponds, bridges, and other elements to create a beautiful spot that combines natural beauty with human ingenuity. Visiting during the cherry blossom season, the park is adorned with the romantic beauty of Yoshino cherry blossoms, which are white with a hint of pink. The picturesque scenery, with small bridges, flowing water, and garden landscapes as the backdrop, makes for stunning photos. The biggest attraction of cherry blossom viewing in Shikoku is the lack of crowds, allowing for unobstructed views! Ritsurin Garden covers a vast area and has five main attractions: Hiunkaku Pavilion, Goten, the Great Pond, Kisho, and artificial hills. You can also enjoy a boat ride on the lake, which is quite poetic. In 1994, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site, making it well worth a visit.

Takamatsu Travel😸 It's January, but the weather is warm, so it's a great day to go around! I bought a Kototen Pass at the airport and went to Kotohira Shrine, and it's great to go around here and there with the pass! There's an Aeon Mall on the way back from Kotohira Shrine, so you can look around and get your pass for free~~~ Ritsurin Park takes more than an hour to see. Your legs might hurt a lot... 😹 There's a bus stop to Takamatsu Station in front of Ritsurin Park. The bus fare is 200 yen!👍 The shrimp tempura restaurant is only open from 11:30 to 2:00 in the morning. You have to go early to eat without waiting!

Shikoku is known for its beautiful scenery, and many people think it's difficult to explore without driving. However, with proper planning and the use of JR trains and buses, you can easily tour Shikoku. For first-time visitors, this 5-day 4-night itinerary covering Kagawa and Tokushima is a great reference.

Naruto Whirlpools: Taking a sightseeing boat is one of the best ways to view the whirlpools 🤩. You can not only see the whirlpools up close but also feel the turbulent and rotating water when the boat gets close to the whirlpool area, which is both thrilling and breathtaking 🤪. 2. Iya Vine Bridge: The vine bridge spans a steep gorge with rushing river water below. Although it has been reinforced and is very safe, it still wobbles when you walk on it 🫨. 3. Ritsurin Garden: The entire park is composed of a series of lakes, small bridges, and pavilions, perfectly blending the essence of Edo-period garden design. Walking through it feels like being in a graceful and charming landscape painting 😍. 【Must-Try Foods】 1. Sanuki Udon in Kagawa is one of Japan's top three udon varieties, and there are many famous small shops around 🍜. 2. Kagawa's Bone-in Chicken is also a must-try 😋.

Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes are a specialty of Tokushima, with golden-yellow flesh that is very delicious 🍠. 【Accommodation Recommendations】 ⭐️ Recommended Area: If staying in Takamatsu, it's recommended to stay near Takamatsu JR Station for convenient transportation and proximity to Takamatsu Port. 🏨 Hotel Name: JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu 📍 Hotel Address: 1-1 Hamano Cho, Takamatsu, Takamatsu, Japan, 760-0011 【Photo Spots】 1.

Checking this before booking your sightseeing boat tickets will increase your chances of seeing the full whirlpools.

In Takamatsu city, Japan, there is a garden that has been hidden for hundreds of years. It is hidden in the city, unrelated to the hustle and bustle, and is quiet in a corner. It is the 'Ritsurin Park' rated as a three-star destination by the Michelin Tour Guide. Walking into Ritsurin Park, the green fields and fresh air make me feel relaxed. It is said that there are a thousand pine trees in it, which are matched with buildings, rockeries, and lakes. Walking or boating during the period can be described as changing scenery with every step, and it is worthy of its reputation as a 'circuit-style daimyo garden' in Japan. In addition to outdoor viewing, going to the indoor of the Ritsurin Park building, either sitting quietly and drinking tea to enjoy the outside scenery, or taking pictures with the building as the medium and the scenery as the background, is also a picturesque viewing experience. Overall, I think this destination is very worth recommending. After a trip, I still have a lot to do. I look forward to having the opportunity to come here again, and feel the ease here with a more 'slow' speed and mentality.

#JapanTravel #Takamatsu #RitsurinPark #RitsurinPark #ShikokuTravel If you want to experience a quiet Japanese small town without people, I recommend a trip to Shikoku. Takamatsu, which is easily accessible among the mainland Shikoku, still does not have many Korean tourists. Take a bike ride and go on an udon tour in Takamatsu, the birthplace of Sanuki udon, and also take a tour of the most famous Ritsurin Park! You will be completely immersed in the beauty of Ritsurin Park, which has been lovingly maintained for hundreds of years. Just looking at the photos, it is a peaceful representative park of Takamatsu, Ritsurin I definitely want to experience other seasons at least once. 🙂💚

I went to Ritsurin Garden in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. This is a feudal garden built in the early Edo period during the reign of the Takamatsu Matsudaira clan, the feudal lords of Takamatsu, and is a representative spot in Shikoku that ranks alongside the three most famous gardens in Japan. Recommended for a walk in the garden on a nice day. It's beautiful and pleasant no matter where you walk, but the view from Hiraiho in the southern garden is outstanding✨ Access: 3 minutes walk from JR Ritsurin Garden North Exit Station, about 7 minutes by car from JR Takamatsu Station (it's not impossible to walk from Takamatsu Station if you try hard) #trip2023 #takamatsutourism

Ritsurin Garden A garden with six ponds and 13 artificial hills, covering an area the size of 16 Tokyo Domes.

I took advantage of the long weekend in October to go to Shikoku. Ritsurin Garden is a famous tourist spot in Kagawa Prefecture. The souvenir shop at the entrance to the park has a lot of souvenirs from the Shikoku area, including chestnuts🌰 that are only available in autumn and Halloween-themed wasanbon sweets. The selection was great, and I ended up buying a lot. #autumntrip #autumnonlymenu #halloween

Ritsurin Garden is a cultural property garden that has been designated as a special national scenic spot. The garden is very large, but it is often used for pre-wedding photo shoots, etc. There are various sightseeing spots in each area, so you can take a leisurely stroll. They are called "walking scenery." My favorite is the row of powerful pine trees! ! ! 🌳🌳🌳 (3rd photo) You can enjoy Japanese sweets and matcha at the teahouse, or ride a Japanese boat to enjoy a different view from the walking scenery. Ritsurin Garden was renovated as a villa for the Matsudaira family, the feudal lords of Takamatsu! In a high school reader published at the end of the Meiji era, Ritsurin Garden was described as having more elegant wood and stone than the "Three Great Gardens of Japan," and is a historical tourist spot representing Kagawa 😆 1-20-16 Ritsurin-cho, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture #Breathtaking views #Historical sites #Historical sites #Places that give a sense of history #Scenic spots #Takamatsu #Ritsurin Garden #Kagawa Prefecture #Kagawa #Recommended spots

Ritsurin Garden is located in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. The garden is very carefully maintained and is a scenic spot. I hope you can feel the autumn while looking at the autumn leaves. It is said that it was conceived and created by a warlord of the Sengoku period, but people in the past were really tolerant of culture and eager to learn, I admire them. #Autumn leaves #Retro streetscape #Ginkgo

The Ritsurin Garden symbolizes the prime of "encircled garden" during the Edo period. Whichever season you choose, different views are here for you. I love the Holding Moon Pavilion most. It's a nice place to take a picture because pines, texture painted on small stones, pond and others in the park look very exquisite. I ordered a cup of steamed green tea and fruits to enjoy the scenery. I felt so good!

Ritsurin Garden, a symbol of Takamatsu, is the largest garden among the parks designated as special places of scenic beauty in Japan. If you visit in the fall season, you can see Ritsurin Garden in harmony with the beautiful autumn leaves. Since the area is large, I recommend dividing it into the east and west sides and walking around it efficiently.

Mew Travel Lilin Park | Michelin recommended, Japanese garden in the painting a place that is expected in this trip ~ Li Lilin Park began to build in 1642, spent 100 years Time is carefully carved, green mountains and green waters, one step at a time, each scene can constitute a quaint Japanese scroll. We came early in the morning, there are still no people in the park, only occasionally seeing a few garden workers pruning plants. The sun is still obscured by the clouds, showing a blue-yellow, cool-toned picture, full of mystery, quiet and quiet, with an unreal feeling, thinking that he is still in a dream. There are gradually a few sun rays coming in through the intertwined branches and leaves, and it has become another dreamy scene. It is really beautiful. has six pools and thirteen rockeries, all of which offer a completely different style of view. The pine trees are particularly rich in variety, and they are elegant and classical. Many of them are two or three hundred years old, so they are so admired! When you walked to the lake, there was a feeling of openness in front of you. The semicircular Lunar Bridge in the middle of the lake is reflected on the water. The boat is layered and layered. The level is full of Zen. There are many koi in the water. When people come over, they will look up and eat. When you are tired, you will take a nap in the pavilion surrounded by the lake. The room in the tatami room is too pleasant. Matcha is accompanied by traditional Japanese snacks. This exquisite environment is worth staying all day, and the time goes by.

I recently went to Japan to enjoy the flowers in the spring. I dont want to waste time on the traffic and want to avoid the crowd. I often recommend Takamatsu City next to the Seto Inland Sea in the Shikoku area. It is super convenient to fly directly from Shanghai or go to Osaka to play by bus. ! Its Michelins Lilin Park that comes to Takamatsus spring. For the first time, I know that the park also has Michelin. Although the name is "Lilin", there are actually more than 1,400 pine trees in it. The garden of four hundred years of history is very beautiful. The bridges and pavilions are very good for one step. Now the plum blossoms in the garden have been opened, and the cherry blossoms will continue in the end of March. Open, the most suitable time to come! Wear a kimono to visit Japanese gardens. Its a good place to rent a kimono. The garden pavilion on the right hand side of the park, the style of the kimono is pretty good, and the price is also very high. La, wear a kimono to visit the garden to see the flowers and gray often feel, concave shape photo beauty!

From peaceful gardens to iconic noodles and even a dam that looks like a castle, it’s a day full of contrast and discovery. I started my morning at Ritsurin Garden, one of Japan’s most celebrated traditional gardens. I headed straight to the wasen (wooden boat) dock and grabbed a ticket for the 9:30 ride.

It's been years since I've been to Japan...🤗 Searched before going to a city I haven't been to ~ In particular, I had to look at the passes in detail in Japan, so I pre-paid for the "Kagawa Wide Pass" on the website and saved it as a bookmark on my phone before going~ Day1> Sanuki Udon Ueharaya Main Store->Ritsurin Park-> Kid Coffee ->Kuishinbo (Yakisoba and Okonomiyaki Izakaya) -> Symbol Tower Day2> 🍜Yamagoe Udon (Why didn't I take a picture of the udon?? I admit, Yamagoe Udon.. It's tastier than the udon I ate the day before. The tempura is different too~) I really wanted to go here, so I took public transportation.. It was hard~ㅋㅋㅋ It's okay to take the udon bus tour~ ->Kotohira Shrine (It's a lot of walking.. It's a stairway to hell, so it's a great thigh workout. The view is worth it~~??) There's "Akaboshi Cafe" on the right side of the entrance to the stairs at the beginning I had to come down and drink coffee... but when I came down, it was just before closing 😅~ I took a bite of the canelé while taking out, it was so delicious 😋 I regretted not buying a box.. They make it themselves!! It was a famous canelé restaurant.. The coffee was also delicious~~ -> Chunpungdang Minamishinmachi branch (Before going out for dinner, I took some bread to go because it was famous.. a snack to eat on the boat the next day) -> Unagi Nosuke Takamatsu branch (The eel rice bowl is so delicious) 🌟My one pick is the eel rice bowl restaurant.. I want to go back because of this and the peach wine~~~ Why did I only buy one bottle~~ 🍑 The alcohol was so delicious. (I thought my husband bought alcohol without telling me, but I found out in Korea that he bought it for me!!) Day3> Takamatsu was a 2 night 3 day trip.. I took a boat and went to Olive Park in the morning~~ I bought bread the day before and solved lunch at a convenience store.. (Takamatsu, which I regretted because I had to take a boat and a bus because of the time~ Check the bus schedule carefully) I want to go again.. When I went, the udon pass was sold out, so I want to go again. I left my carrier in Okayama and went to Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter On the way, I went to "Miso Katsu Umenoki", a famous Michelin restaurant🍛 The tonkatsu was really delicious!! I arrived late, so all the shops in Kurashiki were closed..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'll go again the next day. Day4> There were a lot of things to see in Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, so I went around for a day.. I bought a bag while I was walking around ~ I got a business card saying that she made them herself.. They were unique as soon as I saw them, and each color was unique~ This place is famous for its peaches 🍑, so I bought some jam, and as a gift, I bought another Moomin collaboration (cute Moomin picture on the case outside)~ I bought an udon magnet, but I should have bought it in Takamatsu.. I just bought it at the 🐰Miffy character shop~ I also bought some sake.. I drank coffee again, but I can't remember the name of the store, but there are many places in Japan that have delicious coffee~ ☕️GjG Espresso - The coffee is really delicious!! 🍚🧈 Kamataya (Tofu Cuisine) It's run by an old couple, and everything is delicious! The tofu disguised as fish was a bit shocking~ I thought it was real fish.. ☕️ The Coffee House Daiku Honmachi - Have another cup of coffee before dinner.. I looked it up on Google and it was just okay.. There are too many pictures to upload, but in Okayama, the hotel is connected to the train station, so it was easy to get around. Since I mainly went around to tourist attractions and shopping, I thought it would be good to stay somewhere close, so I went to a place that was as easy to get to as possible when going home~ Before taking the tram to Okayama Castle (Crow Castle) & Korakuen, my husband found a Blue Ribbon Omelette restaurant... But the locals also order a lot of ramen.. It's a shame I couldn't eat ramen~ I waited in line and went in~ On the left side of the alley leading to this restaurant is a kitchen editing shop? (Lifestyle). The dishes are pretty, but restrained~ Because of the weight.. My husband might have bought a lot of alcohol!! Hahahaha~ And if you come down a little more, there's a bakery that's famous, so the locals were buying a lot of bread🥐.. I should've bought all the bread in the fridge It was so so delicious!! When you come out of the store, there's also a fruit shop where you can buy 🍊 tangerines for a cheaper price~ It's much cheaper than the mart. So I bought some on the way out after eating and went to Okayama Castle~~~ I happily walked after buying fruit👫👣 ☕️ Cafe Kitsune - This place only does takeout. I went to a roastery cafe on purpose, but there were no seats, so I took a break outside in a Benz... The coffee is delicious~ For the rest of my schedule, I went to Uniqlo & Muji, and Don Quijote at Aeon Mall~ Okayama is delicious, so I went to "Yakitori Mugen" twice for dinner 🍢 Everything was delicious without being greasy.. 🍻It was refreshing and delicious with beer👍🏻 The owner grilled it really well~~ I came back two days in a row because it was so delicious, so I don't think I got any service or tax.. I ate more than the first day, but I saw that the amount was calculated less~ Since you order through an app, the price can't be wrong!! They asked me when I was going to Korea.. The staff were all friendly~ It was a week-long trip, but I regret it~~ I want to go again 🍑I'll buy some alcohol and have a drink During this trip, the train was suddenly delayed and I had to wait for almost two hours.. When I went to eat Yamagoe Udon, the bus was so late ㅋㅋ It may go as planned, or it may change, but I felt the charm of wanting to go to other small Japanese cities during this trip~~ It was great!!😊

#springitinerary Ritsurin Garden in Takamatsu is a must-see, rated three stars by the Michelin Guide 🌟, making it one of Shikoku’s top attractions! It's historically renowned for its beauty, even surpassing the "Three Famous Gardens" in Japan 🏅. It’s often called the “third most beautiful garden” after the Adachi Museum and Katsura Imperial Villa. However, the garden didn't quite live up to its hype 🤔. While the views were nice, the crowd and yellowed lawns took away from the serene atmosphere 🌾. The koi fish, large and sluggish, felt a bit like they were just "hanging out" without much energy 🐟. The Tsukimi Bridge and the boat tours 🚤 were beautiful and perfect for photos, but the whole boat experience, introduced in 2012, felt a little staged with tourists dressed in traditional hats 🎩, making it feel more like a show than a natural experience. Still, if you’re in Takamatsu, it’s worth checking out for the views and the vibe! 📸 #travel
