Photographer’s Note

"This stone wall is a part of Hibiya Gate, one of the outer defenses of the Edo Castle.
Outside of the castle, the Koma gate, square, turreted passageway, and guardhouse used to be surrounded by the stone wall, but only part of the stone wall remains today.
On the west side of the stone wall was the moat, which was later converted into Shinji-ike Pond and recalls the appearance at the time the Park was constructed."
