 Kagawa Prefecture is about an hour and a half from Osaka by Shinkansen.


After enjoying the cutting-edge technology at the Osaka Expo, come to Kagawa Prefecture to enjoy the old days.


Here are some suggestions on how to enjoy Kagawa Prefecture!


1. If you arrive at Takamatsu Station in Kagawa Prefecture in the morning, the first thing to do is rent a car!

2. About a 15-minute drive from Takamatsu Station is Ritsurin Park.

　Kurume Park may not be as famous as Korakuen Garden in Okayama, but it's the perfect size for a leisurely stroll and offers a chance to enjoy a traditional Japanese garden!


Within the park, there's a traditional-style tea house where you can enjoy large mochi and tea, as well as stylish souvenir shops.


Kurume Park

Special Scenic Spot Kurume Park Official Website. Kurume Park, the largest cultural property garden designated as a Special Scenic Spot by the national government, is an early Edo period strolling garden completed about 300 years ago as the villa of the Matsudaira family, the feudal lords of Takamatsu. With the lush greenery of Shikunzan Mountain as a backdrop, the park skillfully arranges six ponds and 13 artificial hills, along with over 1,000 beautifully maintained pine trees, creating a ever-changing beauty throughout the seasons, as the saying goes, “a new view with every step.”

where you can enjoy the exquisite “kamaage udon” served in a “tara” (wooden basin).
