Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Nijo castle Ninomaru garden

Fri, August 10, 2018, by Muza-chan
The Ninomaru garden of the Kyoto Nijō castle was built more that 400 years ago by the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, and rearranged by Tokugawa Iemitsu for the visit of the Emperor Gomizunoo in 1626.

It is a typical representative of the medieval Japanese pond gardens built nearby the castles.
