Takamatsu, part 2! After Tamamo Park, I went to go see Ritsurin Garden Park. I don’t have a lot to say about these pictures honestly because, let’s be real, it’s a garden. So all the captions and explanations would be cool bridge / neat flowers / nice trees, hahaha. So just enjoy! And definitely go see it if you’re ever in Takamatsu! :3 b
