Note the snow-covere..in the Japanese Alps	The castle's moat co..s very friendly fish	A small park surrounds the castle grounds	An unusual castle, w.. towers attached ...
... which were built..he time of war ended	The moon-viewing tow..d hardly be defended	Real towers have arrow loops and gun ports	This "secret" floor was used for storage
The top floor is rather small	Two "fire-preventing..rd the smaller tower	You can see an outli.. the now-gone palace	This offering of ric..de divine protection
This telescope seems..or the time, but ...	... the lens was so ..tral region was used	The moon-viewing tow.. garden and pond ...	... so that one can ..e moon's reflection
The main tower would..t be so easy to take	The structure sits o..n with sloping walls	This juxtaposition i..Japanese. Trust me.	Bees were busy in the wisteria
I liked this stone lantern in the garden	This castle's nickna.."The Black Crow" ...	... but in the brigh..es seemed blue to me	A red bridge spans the moat
We ate lunch on Frog..very studious spirit	A message we can all get behind	Winding temari balls..arn is a local craft	A traditional Matsum..st child in a family
Our room at the Kage..s spacious and clean	The Kagayaki shinkan..ook us back to Tokyo	It was, as you can s..utes late! Horrors!
