One of the best preserved sections of the Odoi (御土居) is at Kitano Tenman-gū (北野天満宮).
Usually out-of-bounds, the Odoi remnant is opened up for visitors during the spring and autumn seasons (for a fee of course).

The Odoi (御土居) was an earthen berm, erected at the very beginning of 1591 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣秀吉).
Standing just short of 5m tall, the 22.5km embankment encircled the city with an outer moat (where there weren't rivers) and numerous 'gates'.

🍁AUTUMN AT KYŌTO'S GREAT WALL🧱

During fall Kitano Tenmangū allows guests to enjoy the maples that grow along the Odoi (御土居). Now mostly leveled, this great berm was created by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to encircle and define the boundaries of the city.

🎎PLUM BLOSSOM FESTIVAL🌸

In the Kyōto calendar there are a few times each year when the public is able to rub shoulders with maiko and geiko for a small fee.
During 'Baika-sai' (梅花祭) they serve tea beside Kitano Tenman-gū's plum orchard.

Kitano Tenman-gū (北野天満宮) is undoubtedly the home of ume blossoms in Kyotō.
Sugawara-no-Michizane (菅原道真 845-903), deified here as the god of scholarship, was passionate about plum blossoms (his favourite tree even flew to him in exile!).
From mid-February the shrine's orchard of ume trees opens.

You will always find ume trees planted in the grounds of Tenmangu shrines, and plum blossom motifs can be seen everywhere.Pink ume blossoms at Kitano Tenmangu.Nao-san decked out in ume motif kimono to celebrate the plum blossoms.Plum blossoms carved into the pedestals of the komainu that guard Kitano Tenmangu's main gate.
