CJ Kawashima City

Welcome to the next update of Kawashima: the castle hill and the former palace gardens. I recommend this for background music:



Kawashima Castle 川島城 sits on a long hill in the middle of today's city:


The castle hill as seen from the railway station below:

Most of the original buildings and palaces on the castle hill were lost due to fires. The remaining buildings only show a fragment of the old castle...






The hill seems like a green island in the busy city:

A little to the east lies the Palace Garden of the former daimyo leader of the region:





"Bridge and Pagoda of the flying Geese":

Tea Pavillion of the Barley Fields:

Sun flower fields next to the old palace buildings:


Moon watching Villa:

The fragrant fields:


A little overview of the garden:

The southern parts of the garden were lost and so the city used it for sports and recreation:



And finally: the city center with the castle hill by night:

I hope you like this update more to come...
