Latest on Takamatsu Castle

Next to the ferryport in Takamatsu, Tamamo Park is a pleasant park, which has nearly as much water as greenery. It contains the ruins of Takamatsu Castle, whose moat is connected to the ocean, as well as a traditional wooden mansion, and cherry-blossom trees in the leafy rock garden which give a tremendous display of pink flowers in the spring
