The gardens and ponds would be a relaxing way to spend a few hours. And it would be amazing when cherry blossoms are in bloom. We found the castles in Japan to be fascinating and would not miss a stop at the Marugame Castle. Although I would want to tackle that climb up before my relaxing garden visit.

I plan to one day return and travel around Shikoku. Thanks for these lovely ideas. The garden looks beautiful. I’m sure in the fall it’s even more beautiful. I also have a fascination for Japanese castles. I had no idea you could take a day trip from Osaka or Kobe to Shikoku either. Great post! Will keep this for future use.

Their gardens are so well preserved that you walk in the footsteps on shoguns! Haven’t done a “mikaeri” slope yet in all of my castle visits in Japan and this is an interesting one.

I just love and admire the country, even though I’ve never been there. You have some lovely postcard worthy pics of Shikoku out here.

But the two day trips you’ve described sound lovely. Japanese gardens are such tranquil places. The castle is not something I would’ve expected in Japan, but looks like something I would enjoy.

I’ve been planning a trip to Japan for ages but never got there. I hadn’t heard of Shikoku though, and it’s definitely on my list now. Thanks for the interesting post.
