Kagawa has almost no rivers and very little rain, and its answer for more than a thousand years has been reservoirs. Mannoike is the largest irrigation pond in Japan: about twenty kilometres around and holding 15.4 million tonnes. It was first built around 700, breached repeatedly, and was rebuilt in 821 under the direction of Kukai — the monk from this province who founded Shingon Buddhism — using an arched embankment that held.

It is still the water supply for a large part of the Sanuki plain. In mid-June the sluice is opened for the rice planting in a ceremony called yuru-nuki, which predates the Edo period and draws a crowd to watch the water go out. The rest of the year it is a large quiet lake ringed by hills with a forest park on one shore.

独家私藏情报

**Mid-June for the yuru-nuki.** The sluice opening for the rice planting is a working agricultural event that predates the Edo period, and it draws a crowd. Dates are announced locally. **Kukai rebuilt it in 821.** The founder of Shingon Buddhism was from this province and was sent to fix the embankment after repeated failures. The arched design is attributed to him. **It is still in use.** This is not a scenic lake but the water supply for a large part of the plain. The level varies a great deal through the season. **Kagawa is short of water.** Fewest rivers, least rain. Understanding that is what makes a reservoir the prefecture's most important historic structure. **The national park adjoins it.** Sanuki Manno covers 350 hectares next door and charges separately, which makes the two a full day.
