Ritsurin Garden Commerce and Industry Promotion Hall North building

An authoritative French travel guide (The Michelin Green Guide Japan) gave the Ritsurin Garden a top class three-star rating, saying that just the gardens alone were worth making a trip to visit. The circuit-style garden can still be seen in the same state today as it would have appeared to the feudal lords who created it, at the beginning of the Edo period (1600-1868).

The Commerce and Industry Promotion Hall was originally built as the Kagawa Prefectural Museum in 1899, which had been serving as a source of culture, arts and industry.

Currently, it is used as a venue for medium-sized conferences and receptions where drinks and food are served.

You can enjoy a garden party on its lawn.
