Nijo Castle was built in the early seventeenth century as a temporary Kyoto residence for the first Tokugawa Shogun. Its most famous garden is the one adjoining the Ninomaru Palace. Attributed to Kobori Enshu, it consists of a pond with three islands connected to the shore by bridges, the islands evoking Mt. Horai, the crane, and the turtle. Its large number of rocks has led some critics to view the garden as typical of the somewhat excessive designs of the Edo Period. this one-acre garden consists of a relatively modest pond with three islands that are said to represent islands. Ninomaru Garden is attributed to Kobori Enshu
