Sanuki Manno Park A leisure and entertainment place full of seasonal flowers This is a national park next to Manno Pond, Japan's largest reservoir (a pond for storing agricultural water). There is a dragon god legend in Mannongchi, which is a mascot in the image of a dragon. In addition to a huge artificial waterfall, the park also has a forest where bamboo shoots and mushrooms are cultivated, a hill where a variety of flowers bloom according to the season, a bicycle route, an activity center with experience courses and teaching classrooms, a natural ecological garden, and a car camping site. It is a collection of various tourist attractions that make good use of natural resources. Seasonal events are held from time to time, such as the "Spring Festival" with daffodils and tulips in full bloom in spring and the "Winter Dream World" with beautiful illuminations in winter. This national park can be used as a base for culture, sports, and entertainment. I believe you can spend a whole day here happily. #Sanuki Manno National Park

📍Manno Park, Kagawa Prefecture Manno Park is planted with kochia, which is called by its Japanese name "houkigusa" or "houkigi." The name comes from the fact that in the past, the branches were dried and used to make brooms. The leaves turn bright green in August and begin to turn red in mid-September, and the scenery becomes beautiful and spectacular in mid-October. In fact, it is the raw material for "tonburi," a local dish of Akita Prefecture, and is called "caviar of the field." (※The kochia in this park is an ornamental variety.) 6,000 kochia trees are planted on the Flower Tour Hill in the park, and you can enjoy the changing colors as they turn from green to red. #0yentravelJanuary2025
