Nijō Castle - Ninomaru（二条城 二の丸庭園）
The Ninomaru gardens of the Nijō castle in Kyoto have been designed by garden master Kobori Enshu. The palace was built for the first Edo shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu in the early Edo period (1603-1868). There are numerous cherry and plum trees, which bloom between March and April.
The garden has a large pond with three islands that symbolize Horai-San, and the crane and turtle mountains of the Taoist mythology.
