Ritsurin Garden

Ritsurin Garden is a landscape garden in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, regarded as one of the finest gardens of the Edo period. Begun in the early 17th century and completed by the Matsudaira lords of Takamatsu in 1745, it combines ponds, islands, hills and pine trees set against Mount Shiun. It became a public park in 1875.
