A walk through Hama Rikyu Gardens

Right across the road from Shiodome are the beautiful Hama Rikyu gardens right next to Tsukiji fish markets.  It was a very relaxing place to visit - away from the hustle of the streets and train stations back across the freeway where our hotel is situated.

A good visual example of the old and the new.

This is such a typical classic Japanese garden scene. 
The curved bridge, the immaculately manicured pine trees and the old fashioned bug traps wrapped round some of the branches and tree trunks.
