#Ritsurin #Garden is truly one of the most beautiful garden I have visited in #Takamatsu, #Japan. From the moment we stepped inside, we were amazed by beauty of the nature. With the lush green mountains creating a stunning backdrop, we were completely isolated from the world. Every path revealed another stunning view, making it impossible to stop taking photos🙈☺️
The ponds filled with graceful koi fish added to the garden's tranquil atmosphere. There was a sign indicating the name and brief explanations about the fish. One of the highlights was the traditional wooden boat tour, which offered a unique perspective of the garden and made us feel as though we had stepped back into Japan's Edo period.
This garden offers a place to slow down from the daily life and enjoy nature's generous offers. ln addition, there is a cute gift shop where you can buy nice souveniers as well as delicious ice cream. lf you like #chestnut, please try it, so good😋

Although it was raining all day the garden was a wonderful place to be in. You can also collect 8 stamps in different areas for a fun way to explore. The garden spans a wide area so you can easily spend 4 hours if you take it easy and stop for a tea or a treat.
A very beautiful Japanese garden that has been taken care very well. Despite the weather is extremely hot and sunny today, the scenic views are awesome 🙌
