Hikone Castle - Genkyuen Garden
The Genkyuen Garden is a stunning example of a landscape garden of a daimyo's palace. It is well known for great views of the main keep in the background above the palace. I often skip visiting here because Hikone Castle and all the associated ruins are so vast that it's hard to take in everything in one day, but it is definitely worth visiting this part of the castle in multiple seasons. I'll surely revisit the next time I'm in Hikone too.
