Sanuki Manno Park Is a Hidden Gem

#springitinerary Sanuki Manno Park in Kagawa is seriously underrated. It’s one of those places that’s perfect for just vibing out in nature without a huge crowd. The park is massive, like, bring-your-walking-shoes massive and it changes with the seasons. In spring, it’s packed with tulips and cherry blossoms, in summer, sunflowers and fireworks; and autumn brings this epic sea of cosmos flowers. There are wide open lawns for picnics, a playground if you’ve got kids, and even a giant slide that adults secretly love too. Rent a bike, chill by the lake, or just stroll through the flower gardens at your own pace. It’s peaceful, colorful, and kind of feels like a dream sometimes, especially if you catch it during peak bloom. Not many tourists know about it, so it’s got a super local vibe. If you're in Shikoku and want a slow, nature-filled day, this park’s a win.
