What you can expect

Begin your experience with a convenient meeting point at the garden’s east gate or at Takamatsu Station, which includes guided travel by local train to the garden.

Meet your guide and begin your exploration of Ritsurin Garden, recognised as one of Japan’s finest historic gardens. Created as a strolling landscape, the garden unfolds gradually along a planned route, revealing ponds, bridges, artificial hills, and meticulously maintained trees in deliberate sequence.

As you walk through the grounds with your guide, learn about the historical background of Japanese gardens, the defining features of daimyo gardens, and shared design techniques found across Japan, such as miniature landscape representation and borrowed scenery that incorporates surrounding mountains into the garden’s composition.

Particular attention is given to Ritsurin’s most celebrated highlights, including the elevated viewpoint of Hiraiho, the elegant teahouse Kikugetsu-tei, the iconic raised-root pine tree, and the dynamic water features that bring movement and sound into the landscape.

The experience is further enriched by a traditional tea break at Kikugetsu-tei, where you can enjoy matcha while appreciating views that reflect the harmony between architecture and nature.
