Here are more shots of the Nijō Castle (二条城 Nijō-jō) gardens, which include some pretty lakes.
Everything's kept up beautifully.
There's an impressive gate...
or two.
And what would a castle be without a moat?
This is definitely one of Kyoto's must-see sights.
That's really cool.

ReplyDeleteEvery temple and castle in Japan seems to have a beautiful gate. I probably should know the reason behind this, but I don't. I do know they are beautiful and I think it would make me feel as if I were entering a peaceful and secret place to which I had been given entry.
