Takamatsu
Takamatsu is a city located on Shikoku Island. It`s a very beautiful place. In Takamatsu, Ritsurin Garden is located. It`s the most beautiful garden I have ever seen. It`s very vast and diverse. At the entrance you can get information that it takes about 2-3 hours to see whole garden. However, there is also a `short path` which enables to see the most impressive places in an hour. When I was visiting the garden it was raining heavily. That was the opportunity to see Japanese garden in completely differnet appearance. Many people say that Japanese gardens look much better when it`s raining, and now I totally agree with that. The garden was amazing, as well as surrounding mountains. The location makes this place even more wonderful.
However, Ritsurin Garden is not the only interesting place in Takamatsu. What is also worth seeing is Takamatsu Castle and its graceful garden. And it`s even more interesting when it`s snowing!
The walk around the port area is also recommended. The views are amazing, as well as nearby promenade. It was also very peaceful, probably because of the rain and the season (it was still quite cold, so not many people were visiting this place).
I would recommend Takamatsu to anyone.
