Kenroku-en Garden (兼六園) via my Fujifilm

Kanazawa, Japan, 8th November 2010 -  The most famous sight in Kanazawa, the Garden of Six Attributes is considered one of Japan's Top 3 gardens.

While not completed in its final form until the waning years of the Edo Shogunate, it still represents one of the peaks of Japanese strolling garden design.

The way in which water is piped from many kilometres upstream to fill its streams and ponds before going on to fill the castle moats is one of the great engineering feats of the Edo period.

During cherry blossom season, entry to the park is free and it's open and lit up until 9 PM.





















Ueno Park Quick Visit

Tokyo Japan, November 6, 2010 - After a whole day of limping around Nikko Park, I had enough energy to pay a quick visit (even if it was at night) to Ueno Park.

Its well known for its sakura viewing during spring but tonight, I only had time to take a very quick look around and hope that someday I can come back to look at it in the daytime.
