View from Gojusan-tsugi Koshikakejaya Rest House
The window of the Gojusan-tsugi Koshikakejaya Rest House provides framed views of Okayama Castle across the river from the garden. The thatch-roofed shelter is one of the most popular spots to look out over the garden. The bamboo lattice of the back wall breaks up the scene, framing a landscape of both close and distant elements. The house is a long, rectangular structure completely open on the side facing the path, giving visitors an unobstructed view of the adjacent pine grove.
