Opening hours: 05:30-19:00
当地向导行er:“Ritsurin Garden is one of the most famous historical gardens in Japan, located in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. It was built in the early Edo period and has a history of more than 400 years. It is a national special scenic spot in Japan. Ritsurin Garden is famous for its exquisite landscape design, rich vegetation and tranquil atmosphere. It is an outstanding representative of traditional Japanese garden art. ### Main features: 1. **Large scale**: Ritsurin Garden covers an area of ​​about 75 hectares and is divided into two parts: the South Garden and the North Garden. The South Garden is a typical strolling garden, while the North Garden is dominated by natural landscapes. 2. **Borrowed scenery design**: The garden cleverly uses the distant Ziyun Mountain as the background to form a "borrowed scenery" effect, which enhances the layering and depth of the garden. 3. **Ponds and bridges**: There are multiple ponds in the garden, connected by small bridges, and small islands are dotted in the ponds, creating a poetic waterscape. 4. **The Art of Pine Tree Pruning**: The pine trees in the park have been carefully pruned in various shapes, showing the superb skills of Japanese gardening. 5. **Seasonal Beauty**: Cherry blossoms in spring, greenery in summer, red leaves in autumn, and snow in winter, Ritsurin Park has different styles in each season. ### Tour Suggestions: - **Tour Time**: It is recommended to reserve 2-3 hours to slowly appreciate the details of the garden. - **Tea Room Experience**: There is a traditional tea room in the park, where you can experience the Japanese tea ceremony culture. - **Boat Tour**: In the pond of the South Garden, you can take a Japanese boat to experience a unique garden perspective. Ritsurin Park is not only a symbol of Japanese culture, but also a model of the perfect combination of nature and humanity. If you have the opportunity to visit Takamatsu City, this is definitely a must-see attraction!”
