The Gardens of Blood!
One of Japan’s Top Three Samurai Gardens was Once the Scene of a Major Bloodbath!
The atmosphere at the beautiful Kitabatake Gardens, noted as one of Japan’s Top Three Samurai Gardens, is one of pure tranquility, which makes it hard to believe it was once the scene of a major bloodbath! Beautiful in all seasons, particularly early summer when the rich green moss is at its most lush, and fall when the autumn colors that Japan is famed for reach their stunning peak, these gardens bely their violent past.
