In the Meiji Jingu garden is an iris bed, set in a water fed marsh/mud, with #Japanese pond #turtles swimming around in the channels that delimit the plantings. The #iris garden cost 3€ to enter, which is just to help pay the upkeep of that particular area of the park. The irises flower in June, and were quite simply magnificent. #Butterflies and #dragonflies were flitting and fluttering around. A real gem in my book. We also went and visited a well that was captured in the #Edo period, and a small lake brimming with water lilies.

Picture of a long necked Japanese pond turtle swimming in a water channel. The turtle almost entirely fills the width of the channel.
Picture of clumps of marsh iris in flower, with purple, white and mixtures of the two represented.
Picture of what looks to be a blue bodied chaser or darter dragonfly resting on a board set across the flow of water from one flower bed to the next.
