    Nakanado Gunma Town, Kagawa Prefecture
    This pond is associated with a dragon legend depicted in ''A Dragon is Caught by a Tengu Goblin,'' the first story in volume 20 of Konjaku Monogatarishu, an ancient collection of tales. It can hold 15.4 million cubic meters of water, making it the largest reservoir in the prefecture. It has long been used as an irrigation source. During rice planting season, you might spot the faint lights of the local Manno fireflies. They're a little larger than the common variety.

Kagawa Areas

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
