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.

Located in the middle of Ritsurin Park, a very authentic Japanese tea room. Open sitting area with scenic window looking over to the ponds and trees in park. Ordered Matcha with Japanese snack as compliment, the color matches Iris displayed in the room. Very pleasant tea break experience.

A gem of a Temple (& Shrine) off the beaten track near Takamatsu in Kagawa. Accessible via the Kotoden Electric Railway its well worth a visit for it's giant Getas and its syncretic Temple/Shrine complex. When I visited I was the only westerner and most of the visitors were pilgrims doing the trail around Shikoku. It's approached via a very cute Cable Car with some little trains made to look like mini Shinkansen... the kids will love that. High in the mountians amid nature its a very impressive and little known site.

This is the same place as Takamatsu Park. It is a old fort with a moat. It also has a pretty garden in the middle of Takamatsu city. You can make it a quick walk through or take your time. I took 2 hours. They also have a small museum.

We decided on a day between art islands we would go to see the 84 temple on the route of 88. Quick train ride, then we met a local who directed us to the start of the climb up. I think we took the wrong path and soone we were on an almost vertical dirt track through the jungle. Met several old japanese couples coming down so we knew we were not fully lost. Got to the top eventually, to discover an abandoned cable car station. How cool. Then walked down the road to the temple. Interesting statues, shrines, a really good museum, an abandoned hotel!, great views. Not crowded and a really peaceful vibe. Lucky find as we had not done much research.
