Koko-en Garden, Himeji
Next to Himeji Castle is a traditional Japanese garden, the Koko-en Garden (好古園). If you're there it's certainly worth the time.
As you'd expect it's beautiful, with waterfalls and shady trees.
Of course there are ponds.
There are a couple of indoor spaces too. There's something magical about wandering through a traditional garden like this in Japan.
After this we headed back to the bullet train, and finished the route to Osaka where we stayed for a couple of days. Lots more photos to come - I hope you're not bored with my vacation shots yet!
Beautiful garden

Bored? Never -- I expect you to post every single picture of your trip ;>) ... am really enjoying it.. The gardens are beautiful and I enjoyed seeing the blue heron just like the ones we see here on the whole other side of the Pacific Rim.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by your use of Japanese and (technically illiterate as well as not bilingual) wonder if you have to have another keyboard to do that or if Google Translate does it. In any case, it seems brilliant.
I like the green reflections in the water ... much like a watercolor painting. And the colorful artistic cloths displayed within the building are very cool.
