FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 21, 1974
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Kyoto, Japan)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
AT THE NIJO CASTLE
3:15 P.M. (Japan Time)
I do want to thank all the people who have made
this afternoon so interesting. It is an afternoon
which has given us a special insight into the history
and the traditions of Japan.
And I want to thank the young ladies here and
the others who have shown us the several castles.
The culture of Japan certainly is an inspiration.
It is different. It is something that by its simplicity
inspires you to see what can come from hard work and a
feeling of making the most out of what you have available,
which was the history of Japan in its early days, and then
to see these beautiful instruments and fine playing by the
young ladies -- the beautiful costumes -- I think it is a
real inspiration for those of us who have had an oppor-
tunity to be here today in Kyoto, traditional capital
of Japan.
I thank all of you and thank all of you for
your thoughtfulness and your hospitality.
Q How is the trip going, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: I think it has been a wonderful
trip. It couldn't have been better, both substantively
and otherwise.
Q What have you enjoyed most, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: The opportunity to see not only
the Government officials, but an opportunity to see a
great deal of the Japanese history and people. It has
been an inspiration as well as a very productive three
days.
Thank you very much.
END
