Enjoy the beauty of the trees and plants with each passing season.

This ancient pine tree is one of the vestiges of the villa of the Edo-era nobleman, Matsudaira Sanukinokami. Along with the nearby Hyotan-ike Pond, it is believed to have formed part of a pleasure garden.

This pond is named for its shape, which resembles a bottle gourd (hyotan).

The changing colors of the trees with the passing seasons are reflected on the water's edge, creating a beautiful scene all year round.

The path looks out on a marsh to the east as it meanders under the branches of zelkova and dogwood trees.

This enormous pine is one of the vestiges of Matsudaira Sanukinokami's Edo-era villa. It is about 300 years old and is also known as the Great Serpent Pine.

“Mizutori” means “waterfowl.” This marsh is home to birds such as the spot-billed duck and the snowy heron.

Numerous remains of earthen walls are found on this site. This C-shaped earthen wall belongs to the villa of a late-medieval nobleman.
