I especially like the old brick aquaduct near Nanzenji temple in Kyoto. It was built in the early 1900s to bring water from Lake Biwa to Kyoto city and is still in use today. The aquaduct, Nanzenji temple (built in the 12th century) and the park around it are also popular spots for artists and for family picnics. Brick buildings and bridges are rare in Japan because they collapse too easily during earthquakes which are common here. This aquaduct has survived so far and I hope it will for many centuries more.
