    Highlights: Ritsurin Park is located in Takamatsu City and has an area of about 75ha. Construction of the garden is said to have started in 1642 and took 100 years to complete. There are 6 pools and 13 rockeries in the garden. Echoing the scenery of Ziyun Mountain at the back of the park, it seems to be a beautiful Japanese painting. In the construction process of the garden, the scenery of distant mountains is used to make it part of the structure of the garden. This method is called "borrowing scenery". The South Garden is a pure Japanese-style garden, and the small house "Jugetsu-tei" used for the tea ceremony by the pond is well-known as a good place to admire the full moon in autumn. After a large-scale reconstruction, the North Garden has become a Western-style garden.

    "The four-country island has few resources since the ancients, and there is no change now. The monuments can be seen more than castles, but the Japanese-style castles are similar, and there are more Himeji City Zhuyu in front. You can only see some small characteristics of Linhai Castle. Takamatsu City in Yuzao Park, high pine trees... belong to the depression, Fengchen Xiuji to Oda Xinchang as a younger brother, the last war here, flooded a wave."

    "I have been to many aquariums in the interior is actually not big, but the four-country aquarium is the closest viewing distance from the animals. It is suitable for taking beautiful photos of the net. It is a good choice to go to the four countries in summer to hide indoors."

    Highlights: Shikoku Aquarium in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, is the largest aquarium in Shikoku. It not only covers a large area, but also takes "Shikoku Waterscape" as its theme. Through 70 carefully designed tanks named after waterscapes, it displays more than 400 species and a total of more than 14,000 marine creatures, making visitors feel as if they are in the rich underwater world of Shikoku. Among them, the giant tanks and special exhibitions such as "Watatsumi no Sight" and "Kannazuki no Sight" are even more fascinating, and the outdoor "Sunset Scene" dolphin pool is even more beautiful when it complements the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea at dusk. In addition, the design of the aquarium cleverly combines natural, humanistic and artistic elements, providing visitors with a double feast of vision and knowledge.

    "Local said this is the most temple difficult to go worship as it's up on the hill. I would say it's worth going!"
    Kotohira
    27.6km from downtown
    Highlights: The Golden Sword Hira Palace, nicknamed "Kim Biro", is located on the mountainside of Mount Kotohira and is dedicated to the God of God and Emperor Zonde. The long stone steps of the pilgrimage road are very famous, and there are 1368 steps to the inner shrine (Yankun Shrine). Climb to level 365 and you will reach the gate of the "two-story building into the mother house" structure. From the gate is the shrine grounds, and you can take the stone steps to carry the sedan chair like in the Edo period. On both sides of the road before the gate, souvenir shops, restaurants, etc. are lined up, and crutches are also rented out. Going through the gate, there are five confectionary shops "Five Renmin" with umbrellas lined up. It is a historical small shop that was licensed to operate in the shrine grounds due to the merits of the ancestors. Climbing up the stone steps, there are several ruins such as the main hall of the main hall, treasure hall, torii, etc., such as the Asahi Shrine with beautiful carvings on the pillars and gates, and the Shoin, which is decorated with wall paintings of Maruyama Yoshitsu and Ito Jakuchuku. The dots continue one after another, and when you reach level 785, you will arrive at the Palace. After climbing to level 1368, I finally arrived at the office, where I could have a panoramic view of Qinping's street scene. Kinto Hiragu was revered as the god of protection of the sea and the increase of agricultural production. In the Edo period, it was generally believed that it must be visited once in a lifetime, and many people from all over the country visited. At that time, there was even such a custom that people who could not visit the shrine in person would have their puppy go to the shrine on their behalf, and it was called "Kimpiro dog". It is still deeply revered and attracts many pilgrims, especially the New Year's shrine and the "Golden Sword Hira Matsuri", a regular festival in October.

    "Takamatsu Port is located in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, facing the Inner Sea, very close to JR Takamatsu Station. It is a gateway to the islands of the Seto Inner Sea. Naoshima, Kodoshima, Toyoshima, etc. can depart from here. Ferries have general boats and fast boats. Generally, the speed of the ship is slow, but the price is cheap, and you can bring bicycles, motorcycles, and cars on the ship. And fast boats can bring people. The port is composed of ticket offices, rest places, and boarding docks. The scale is small, but the basic functions are complete."

    "The Seto Inside International Festival is held every 3 years and will be held here next fall. My college classmates and I love walking around the island and the trip is still boring even though we try to find some interesting art facilities."

    Highlights: "Ogi Island is located 1 km north of Megi Island. The island covers an area of 1.34 square kilometers, with a coastline of 5 kilometers in total and a population of about 160 people. Since there is basically no flat land on the island, the B&Bs are built on the slopes, and the sheep intestines path It runs through it. Due to the terrain, it is difficult to grow rice on the island. Before the 1950s, the islanders had been renting out cattle in exchange for rice. From Ogi Port, you can see the Toyotama Hime Shrine on the high ground, which is enshrined here. The god of easy childbirth, many tourists come here to pray for safe childbirth. There is the Ogi Island Lighthouse at the northern end of Ogi Island. The light stand is made of granite and has a beautiful appearance. The former dormitory site of the lighthouse staff has also been preserved as a lighthouse museum. There are thousands of Japanese daffodils planted on both sides of the walkway extending to the lighthouse, and these daffodils bloom every February. In 2014 Taking the opportunity of the art festival, the families who returned to Ogijima made continuous efforts to reopen elementary and middle schools that were once closed. After the school opened, the laughter of children began to reverberate in Ogijima. After that, he was attracted by Ogijima and moved there. The people here keep coming. They run restaurants, barber shops, libraries, etc., and they take root on the island. The islanders are ushering in a new fashion, and a new regional society is being formed."
