Manno Lake, Big Sky Energy in Kagawa

#springitinerary Manno Lake is the kind of place where you just instantly relax. It’s the largest reservoir in Japan, but honestly, it feels more like a peaceful hidden getaway than anything super official. Surrounded by gentle hills and open skies, it’s perfect for slow strolls, lazy picnics, or just sitting on a bench and zoning out. The views are super calming, especially around sunset when the light hits the water just right. If you’re into biking or running, there’s a nice path that loops around the lake, and in spring, cherry blossoms make it feel extra magical. It’s also right next to Sanuki Manno Park, so you can double up on chill nature time. There’s nothing flashy or touristy about it, and that’s kind of the best part. Whether you’re a local or just road-tripping through Kagawa, Manno Lake is a sweet, quiet spot to reset your brain.
