Niusakadono Shrine

The world heritage of Takaha Nibu Shrine is in Katsuragi of Wakayama. It has an old ginkgo tree. Yellow leaves look very enchanting. It is 25m in height and has grown over 300 year. Seen from afar, it becomes a golden world. In early December, there would be a "ginkgo tree concert" at 10:00 in the morning.

Wakayama Castle

After visiting the Wakayama Castle which holds its guarded grandeur and famed ninja tales; we decided to explore its surroundings. We found beauty and elegance in a surprisingly quiet corner of the castle: Nishinomaru Teien Gardens (also known as Momijidani Teien). Not many tourists come down to this corner. During visit we met a japanese person told us that this garden brings peace and serenity. This elderly gentleman let us in on the secrets of this Garden as he lifted a big heavy camera with one hand to show us photos of rare birds who visit this charming garden too. We were in awe of the many different birds and creatures hidden but captured in photos which he graciously shared with us. We are glad we ventured beyond the main Castle and soaked in the tranquility of this garden. #givethanks #givethanks
