Some photos I took at Nijo Castle in spring 2018. You can see the cherry blossoms in some of the photos just starting to bloom, but not quite in full bloom, and the rest of the gardens were really enjoyable as well. I really liked the gold decorations/designs on the buildings. The gate was also really cool. I believe it's called Karamon Gate although I'm not 100% sure on that. The moat around the castle was pretty neat as well, I can imagine it was a strong fortification, especially since it belonged to Tokugawa Ieyasu, although I'm not entirely sure about the rest of the castle's history. The photos of the moat and surrounding area were taken from on top of a small vantage point, and I wonder if it was originally some sort of turret, but I'm not sure about that either. Either way, I definitely recommend giving it a visit to anyone in Kyoto or anyone planning to visit Kyoto. I believe it was relatively close to the Golden Pavilion as well, so if you have the chance, why not?

Matsumoto Castle (Nagano) Many people are fascinated by the black-based castle tower. I investigated where it would be cool to take a picture of the castle tower. Of course, please note that it may change depending on the time of day. For example, if you take a photo of a castle with the setting sun in the background, it will be backlit, and the castle with a black tone will be blacker, making it difficult to express the details of the castle. The inside of the castle after entering from the Kuromon gate was excluded from the scope of the spot because it is charged and the time is limited. From the vicinity of Ninomaru on the east side and the vicinity of Matsumoto Shrine in the north, there are many trees in the foreground in the angle, and I think it is not suitable for photos centered on the castle tower. 4 recommendations (1) From near the foundation stone of the Taiko Gate Take this photo with the castle tower on the right in front of the Kuromon Gate and the Alps mountains in the background. (2) From the northwest of the park The castle tower with the red bridge in front (3) From the south side Image of the castle tower and Tatsumi Turret taken from the side (4) Take a picture from the southwest corner across the moat The southwest corner of the castle tower looks three-dimensional. Depending on the time of day and weather, you can take a picture of the castle tower reflecting on the moat. It is a castle that you should definitely visit after Corona.
