Panoramic views: Kenrokuen Garden

From inside the garden you can see a panoramic view of the city. On a beautiful day the view is impressive. The buildings of the city mixed with the mountains and clouds in the background.

Even though the cherry blossom season was over there were a few cherry blossom trees in bloom.

It was a very pleasant surprise to see cherry blossoms!
