A view of garden and Water management
The whole view of the garden seen from the Restored Hall facing east
The left end is the Inflow gate and the right end is the Outflow gate.
The following is Yarimizu (curved stream) view seen from the Outflow gate.
From that side you see the Inflow gate, pine trees & expanding capes, and Suhama (shore) & stones.
