Part 10
Ako

Something really special is the 47 Ronin Animatronic Mechanical Clock in Ako.
Sadly I was on the wrong side of the road, for filming 2 times, when it was doing its magic (every full hour).

Short:
It opens its top and front and present and also tells the story of the 47 ronin!

Found a proper front view video!

For the "original" garden you have to pay extra as it is part of the 47 ronin museum.
It consists out of 4 building with statues, swords, etc.
Nothing in English there, so you have to understand Japanese or spend a lot of time with a translation app ;)

I think the main reason why people will come to Ako, will be the Oishi shrine which worships the 47 ronin.

They have at least on statue for each ronin.
And the full size once stay guard at the entrance!

Not on place number one but super quiet as there are no foreign tourists (except me but I am not noisy I promise!).

The garden on the other hand is nicely rebuild and a little beauty.

Part 4
Ako

The buildings inside are presented as a "top view".
So you can "walk" through the buildings an rooms...

You can see where the pipes and walls have been and the white tell you which room it was.

But to be honest, somehow that didn't work out for me...

Interresting? - Yes
Nice to see / watch? - No
