The Japanese word 'Jo' often attached to a place name as Hikone, means 'castle'. Most castles have at least one moat and one we saw had three.
Swans, white cranes and blue herons were often seen around the moats of castles.
After walking all the way in mostly rain, we arrived too late to see inside the castle. Oh well, we had a great time as seen on the faces of Nate our friend/guide and Susan. Not to worry, we would see and tour several castles later.
