Autumn at Sanuki Manno Park: The “Colorful Festival” Is On!
As autumn arrives, Sanuki Mannō National Government Park is wrapped in vibrant seasonal colors.
At the “Autumn! Color Festival,” running from September 12, the park will be filled with around 170,000 cosmos flowers across six varieties, while about 6,000 kochia plants gradually change color as the season deepens.
From sweeping fields of pink and yellow cosmos to kochia turning from green to red, you can enjoy different expressions of autumn depending on when you visit—one of the special charms of this time of year.
During the festival, there will also be a “Digital Stamp Rally” you can enjoy as you explore the park, as well as the “Hanaemi Photo Contest,” which you can enter by posting your photos on Instagram. Why not capture your autumn memories and join in?
There will also be plenty of hands-on events for families. In addition to limited-date workshops, fun activities are planned where kids can play to their heart’s content on inflatable attractions such as water balloons and a big slide. There’s also an insect class and a “Vehicle Festival” featuring police cars and crane trucks—plus many more kid-friendly events.
As autumn progresses and the kochia turns a vivid red, the scenery becomes even more breathtaking. Why not spend some time enjoying colorful blooms and the changing seasons in a refreshing autumn breeze?
This fall, consider pairing your trip to Kagawa with a visit to Sanuki Mannō National Government Park to experience its beautiful autumn colors.
