Caernarfon Castle is a medieval fortress in Gwyned

Caernarfon Castle is a medieval fortress in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The first fortification on the site was a motte-and-bailey castle built in the late 11th century, which King Edward I of England began to replace with the current stone structure in 1283. The castle and town established by Edward acted as the administrative centre of north Wales.

Amazing structure, and well preserved. Thank you to my host: Sensei Tim Hamilton for his amazing hospitality. A wonderful seminar on Saturday and Sunday. Smaller training classes, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Then we leave Wales to head to Leeds for a large seminar Friday Saturday Sunday.

During the Kamakura Period (1185–1333) The site was a villa of an aristocrat, however during the Muromachi Period (1392–1573) It caught the attention of the third Ashikage shogun who took over the site and built his own villa. It was after his death that the village was turned to a temple.

The famous Tori gate of the Itsukushima Shrine. Founded in 1168 by Taira no Kiyomori, the most powerful man in Japan at the end of the Heian Era. Many aristocrats and emperors slowly started to visit the site. After the Taira Clan lost power, the Genji clan started to rule and patronized the shrine as well. The Ashikage shoguns and others of the Muromachi period also made a regular pilgrimages.

Located just off the coast near Hiroshima. A few pictures of the Hiroshima dome remind us of the horrors of nuclear war. The Hiroshima, peace memorial and museum are well worth the visit.
