I took this photo in Imperial palace plaza.
Kikyo mon (gate) was a gate of former Edo castle.
In the present, it is a gate of Imperial palace.
"Kikyo" means bellflower.
In Edo Era, this gate was for important vassala of Tokugawa shogun.

These photos were taken on March 7 , 2009.

beautiful place...
Beautiful set. I love the architecture of palace, and exotic (for me!) trees around.
Greetings :)
Wonderful; thanks for sharing these.
This beautiful, historical place doesn't seem to be in the middle of a city at all. Great place for a stroll.
wow!
:-)
Beautiful images for a charming place ...
I think all good: water, the trees, the building ...
Thank, you gift me a dream!
spring has arrived it seems
Wishing I was in Japan this year for the cherry blossoms. I look forward to more beautiful photos from you :)
Now we are strolling around the castle, and discovering other parts of it. This gate is impressive, and As Mark says, we don't know anymore that we are in a modern city..Very beautyful shots!
