Autumn Illumination – Ritsurin Garden
Ritsurin Garden is a must-see if you’re ever in Takamatsu, it has something different to offer in every season so it would best if you visit it once every season!
In the spring the illumination for the beautiful cherry (Sakura) flowers is held, this is the more famous one among travellers. But there is also an illumination in the autumn dedicated for the time when the leaves change their color and everything around you becomes red and orange. Compared to western countries this happens later in Japan, about around November.
