Jon was fascinated by the wide moat, high city walls and the guard houses.
Near the entrance, we were fortunate enough to see some sakura; though sparse and small as it is the autumn sakura.
The ground was vast; previously ground of a palace a few hundred years ago.
There are quite a few trees in different shades of orange. However, most of the maple trees are still green in colour. It would look amazing when they change colour too.
Overall it was a great way to wind down there in the afternoon sun. Spacious garden in the middle of Tokyo, traditional gates against high rises buildings. We may pay a visit again towards end of our trip.
