View of moat at Hikone Castle in Japan, with boat in foreground and bridge in background. "The completed Hikone castle town was laid out in four divisions assigned to the concentric spaces created by three encircling moats. Located inside the inner moat, the first division consisted of the main castle tower complex on the hilltop surrounded by several compounds with turrets, as well as the area of the Omotegoten front palace building, which served as the administrative center of the Hikone domain as well as the lord’s living quarters,"--Hikone City website.
