The Japanese Garden...



...surrounds a traditional Tea House. Water spilling down a hillside travels under a bridge and into a pond filled with enormous koi. Benches inside the Tea House make it a perfect place to sit and watch the fish, as well as to drink in the simplistic, but beautiful landscaping. According to the guidebook, the rock formations in the pond represent a turtle and a crane (pictured), symbols of longevity.
