Ritsurin Garden is a superb cultural asset that conveys the characteristics of the daimyo strolling gardens that were typically seen in the 17th and 18th century. A daimyo strolling garden is a type of traditional Japanese garden in which ponds and hills are expertly constructed over a vast tract of land, and you can enjoy the garden's space as you leisurely walk around inside.

This garden is full of beautiful detail. The trees are manicured immaculately and the landscaping of each view is exquisite. Even though we visited in early November and the autumn colours weren't yet fully showing the garden still looked fantastic.

Yashimahiji is great place to visit. Nice expansive views -great statues and temple buildings. Temple is number 84 on Shikoku pilgrimage. I walked up from train station and the incline is steady uphill but not overly steep.

I do enjoy walking around these covered streets in Japan, honestly they seem to be similar and have the same types of shops. Although I don't really go into any of the shops, I do enjoy just walking around and looking at the shops and people. This covered street in Takamatsu is very long, it goes on for kilometers. They have a wide variety of shops from small local stores to high end expensive ones. There are restaurants mixed in with the shops. Overall, there is something here for everyone and the shopping street is worth s troll.

This is a great way to see the surrounding towns and villages near Takamatsu as there are actually three tracks - this one which goes to Kotahira and the famous Konpira-san temple, one that heads west and another which heads east along the coast. You can get a two day ticket for unlimited rides on the whole Kotoden Electric network and its well worth it. I just rode to different stations got off and explored. The eastern track takes you to some beautiful shrines and temples as well as coastal villages.The Kotahira track takes you to Konpira-san so you will probably just sleep on it on the way back after climbing all those stairs up the mountain :-)
