It is a cosy house where tea ceremonies will be held very soon. A water cascade adds colour and atmosphere of an oriental garden. The exposition includes typical plants such as sakura trees, ornamental-leaved and beautifully flowering shrubs, conifers moulded according to the traditional Japanese pruning technology — "niwaki".
