An afternoon walk around Sanpoji Pond

This afternoon, some time around 17:00, my wife went for a walk around Sanpoji Pond. In the picture above you can see a bridge in the distance, beyond the waterlilies. Doesn't it look a bit like Claude Monet's The Japanese Bridge in Giverny?

Another angle of Sanpoji Pond.

The picture above shows the outside of Toshimaya, an authentic Showa-period, open-air izakaya. I will cover this little gem in a later posting.
