This is ❣️ the view from the moat of Hikone Castle in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture The houseboat of Hikone Castle's moat Roux was also operatedThe stone walls, 😊 water gates, Turrets and the national treasure Hikone Castle keep were ❣️ magnificent The three-layer structure of [Ishigaki], [Earthen mound], and [Ishigaki], which can be seen along the inner moat near the main gate of Hikone Castle, is called a bowl-maki waist-maki stone wall, and it seems to be ❣️ a special stacking method that can only be seen in a small number of castles (Edo Castle and part of Aizuwakamatsu Castle) If you look at it while strolling from the outside, you can clearly see that the stone wall is in the shape of three beautiful bands. Looking at the beautifully stacked stones, I felt 😃 that the people of Japan in the past were particular about the meticulousness and delicacy If you go to Hikone Castle, please enjoy ❣️ the beauty of not only the castle tower but also the moat and stone walls
