Marugame, in Kagawa Prefecture, is famous for its historic castle, but few realize that there is an amazing garden hidden nearby. Nakatsu Banshoen was built in 1688 for the second generation feudal lord of Marugame. It contains a winding path around a lovely pond full of islands, an art gallery/museum, and a Japanese restaurant.
