fences in front of the entrance of the house opening to west so it looks
like a tea ceremony hall. Some azaleas blossoms in early summer and colored
leaves in fall are beautifully decorate the stone garden. And on the east
of Genshinan, there are a large pond called Shioiri no Ike and the terrace
of it faces the pond for viewing the moon. They are surprised and excited

garden. The flowers decorate the bamboo gate and the tiny path.
