    Nice place to walk when it's not too warm. The best time to go is in the spring when the cherry blossom trees are in bloom!  more »

  • By Claire Dolan
    A great place to walk around with friends or even to walk your dog around the pond. There are also coy fish that you can see when overlooking on a bridge. When people visit during the warm months, I always take them here so they can see the beauty.
  • By Wali Rizvi
    A nice and peaceful place to visit. The blooming season in Spring is the best time to visit and see the place in all its beauty. I would also recommend watching the tea ceremony that happens inside the house. The schedule of which is available on their website.
