Manno Park

350-hectare green space northeast of Manno Reservoir in Kagawa, popular year-round for its rotating lineup of seasonal flowers. Spring brings cherry blossoms, daffodils, tulips, and nemophilas; summer shifts to hydrangeas and sunflowers; autumn fills the slopes with cosmos and the deep red kochia bushes. In winter, 500,000 LED bulbs illuminate the fields and slopes at night, and some nights end with fireworks. Facilities include playgrounds, cycling course rentals, a campsite, miniature golf, and a barbecue area. The scale of the park makes it an unhurried half-day or full-day trip for families and couples alike.
