Tensho-in Atsu-hime

I enjoy NHK Taiga Drama on TV every Sunday night.
This year I'm enjoying 'Atsu-hime' by Tomiko Miyao.

Today I joined a one-day bus tour and visited the places
where Tensho-in Atsu-hime lived her last years.

First I visited The Edo-Tokyo Museum and appreciated
a lot of articles which belonged to Atsu-hime.

Next I visited the Edo Castle, the Imperial Palace--
of course only outdoors. Then Kyu Shiba-rikyu Gardens
and Zojoji Temple.

One day was too short to enjoy those places.
I'd like to visit them again not on a bus tour
but by myself.
