ReplyDeleteIs this near the famous 古代蓮の里? I've always wanted to go to that garden. Maybe this summer! ^^
Dear Rurousha. Thank you. Yes, 古代蓮の里 is very near from this castle. I went to the area although there were no flowers in the pond.
DeleteThen I'll have to set aside a full day to go to the garden in summer, so that I can walk to the castle and the tombs as well. Phew. It will be sooo hot in lotus season! (+_+)
DeleteHi. I checked how to go to Gyouda.
Delete① Ueno 07:48---Gyouda 08:49 by JR Takasaki line
Gyouda 09:05---Mizushiro Kouenmae 09:20 By City Loop Bus (Counterclockwise Bus)
Oshi castle is just near Mizushiro Kouenmae.

Thanks, Minoru-sensei, for all this information!
DeleteForty minutes to the tombs and forty minutes to the lotus garden in the rainy season? Aah, I can do it, I'm a tough woman from Africa! :D
I know I'll get lost, but that's part of the fun.
Baie dankie (thank you very much) for my travel plan. I will follow it!

ReplyDelete「おもてなし甲冑隊」の甲斐姫の表情がＧＯＯＤです。シャッター・チャンスが素晴らしい。行田は「古代ハスの里」を訪問しましたが、来年は「さぎたまの火祭り」を見てみたいと思ってます。
世空旅心様 こんばんは。 甲斐姫が美人だったので、頑張りました。
