Government Gardens

Not much to do here except walk around for a little while. Museum is closed and the Blue Baths pools are closed. Both buildings have large metal chain fences surrounding them. Did some research.. museum is closed as it the building is not up to earthquake safety standards. Not sure why the baths closed. The gardens are very well kept with beautiful flowers and there is a koi pond I stopped to look at with lots of fish!

There were quite a few bowling greens which was interesting to see but not may people playing. There are also a coupe of gazebos - great for photograph.

There were several thermal spots which smell strongly of sulfur and a couple of ponds that are entirely grey.

Additional notes.. public restrooms available on site.
