Odawara Castle Park--Kanagawa, Japan






This style of moat was fairly common in elephant exhibits. Does anyone know how it was constructed? Was it solid pored in a frame? Was a foundation of rubble laid first, and the concrete just pored on top and formed? This style of moat has seemed to withstand the test of time, but from what I understand, once they start to crumble they are a monster to repair.
