Things to do in Ritsurin Park

This time, I brought my family to Takamatsu, and to easily explore the surrounding attractions, we opted for a private car day tour. This was absolutely the best decision of the entire trip! 🚗 Professional and Warm Local Guide First, I must highly commend our driver! Her service was incredibly professional and attentive. Not only did she drive smoothly the entire way, but she also introduced us to Takamatsu's attractions and local customs like a local friend. What I'm most grateful for is that, based on the day's pace, she specifically recommended we visit **"Zentsu-ji Temple."** This wasn't in our original plan, but she guaranteed it was worth a visit based on her professional experience, and it truly amazed us. It perfectly demonstrated the advantage of flexible adjustments in a private car tour. 📍 Today's Itinerary Highlights First Stop: Slowpoke Park If you're a Pokémon fan or traveling with kids, this place is paradise! There are adorable Slowpoke facilities everywhere, colorful and perfect for photos. This first stop put everyone in a great mood. Second Stop: Konpira-san (Kotohira-gu Shrine) A must-visit shrine in Kagawa, a place you "must visit at least once in your lifetime." Although it requires climbing thousands of stone steps, the shopping street along the way is great for browsing. After reaching the observation deck and overlooking the vast Sanuki Plain, all the effort was worth it! Third Stop: Zentsu-ji Temple (Driver's Top Recommendation!) This is the birthplace of Kobo Daishi, with magnificent architecture and a solemn, peaceful atmosphere. Compared to the bustling Konpira-san, this place offered a sense of tranquility. Walking through the temple, I felt both my body and mind calm down. I'm truly thankful for the driver's insightful suggestion. Fourth Stop: Shikokumura Village The last stop was this place rich in history. The park relocated old folk houses from various parts of Shikoku and even has a miniature "Kazura Bridge" for visitors to experience. Strolling and admiring the ancient buildings felt like traveling through time, providing a perfect end to the day's itinerary. 💡 Summary of Experience We visited four attractions this day, and although the itinerary was packed, we didn't feel tired at all. Thanks to the driver's thoughtful pick-up and drop-off service and professional explanations, we avoided the anxiety of transferring and waiting for transportation, allowing us to fully enjoy each attraction.

Our instructor, Mi-san, was wonderful and made our experience very enjoyable. The udon noodles we made were prepared in both hot and cold styles, and we enjoyed them with a set meal. Not only were we full, but the food was extremely delicious. Everyone in the shop was very kind and friendly, leaving us with a deep and wonderful impression.

A very good experience that made our day happy. Although the Naruto Whirlpool boat service was suspended due to the weather, they took us to other attractions and introduced us to the local lunch that only locals eat. They also helped us take group photos, and my family members were very happy and at ease. I would charter a car tour again next time if I have the opportunity. I will also recommend this tour to my friends.

wonderful experience in shikoku. the package includes a lesson in udon making for around 35 minutes, to be followed by dinner which includes hot and cold udon freshly made.

All the staff were very friendly, and it was a great experience to be able to easily and enjoyably make udon noodles. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Takamatsu.

The whole process was a lot of fun, and the noodle maker was very friendly. She carefully guided us through each step. After making the noodles, there was a hearty lunch. After we ate the hot udon, we thought the set meal was complete, but to our surprise, there was also a bowl of cold udon, so we were really full and satisfied.

Everything from the experience, the staff, the food, the location, we’re all amazing! I was initially a bit worried since there weren’t many reviews on Klook for this, but everything worked out without an issue after booking. I was welcomed warmly and cheerfully by the staff, the lesson was fun and chill, the instructor tried her best with English instructions and tried making some simple conversations. Pictures and videos are allowed, they’ll give you a plastic apron and gloves after you change into slippers so most of your clothes won’t get covered in flour. you get to take the rolling pin and a certificate home which they give you a plastic bag for. you can also choose to take home the udon you made but it must be eaten on the same day. they will combine everyone’s udon and make it as part of the meal you booked, offering a balanced set meal with both cold and hot udon bowls. All in all this was so fun and worth it. Made my day in Takamatsu worth it. side note: call them for singles
