Ritsurin Park is unarguably the biggest tourist attraction in Takamatsu City. With buildings dating back to the early 1600s, the park is considered to be among the most beautiful and historically significant in Japan.
Though, to be fair, it is worth noting that Ritsurin is not considered one of Japan's "Three Great Gardens." They are:
*Kairakuen (Mito)
*Kenrokuen (Kanazawa)
*Korakuen (Okayama)
Of the three, I have only been to Kenrokuen in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prejecture.
Ritsurin Park is situated against Mt. Shuin on the western side, and contains six ponds and thirteen different hills of varying sizes for sightseeing. The site was designated a Japanese Narional Treasure in 1953.
