Thanks

Great photo's Michael, thanks for sharing.

I particularly like the first pine over the pond/lake.

I have a lot more images of the park but most of them are of the black pines in the garden.

It was like a dream walking into the garden it just did not feel real, it felt like a dream walking around there.
I did spend most of the day there just looking around trying to take in as much.

The next day I was on the train and visited Kinashi Bonsai Village where you can visit the bonsai nurseries/farms and see all the different steps taken to develop 30+ year old pine trees.

I definitely recommend visiting, I went to Takamatsu by bus from Osaka and that took 3.5 hours but you get to see lots of trees along the coastal line when you get closer to Takamatsu.
