流店からの眺望


流店は、四方が外に完全に開放されています。支柱は、どの方向から見ても視界を遮らないよう、細くなっています。


東側に見えるのは、秋と春に数多くの楓や桜の木が庭を彩る、千入の森と桜林です。建物の正面からは、庭の芝生を180度見渡すことができます。南側からは、蘇鉄が一杯の蘇鉄畑や、花菖蒲畑へと続く八橋を望むことができます。南側には庭園の曲水(蛇行する水流)があり、建物の中を流れるゆっくりとした流れとは対照的です。北側には井田があり、その向こうには手入れの行き届いた茶畑の低木が並んでいます。また、岩が多い唯心山の裏側や、白い花を咲かせる大きなつつじの茂み、その周りの滝のように並べられた石なども見えます。


View from Ryuten Rest House


The four walls of the Ryuten Rest House are completely open to its surroundings. The supporting pillars are slender enough that they do not obstruct the view in any direction.


Visible to the east are the Chishionomori Grove and the Cherry Tree Grove where a number of maple and cherry trees bring color to the garden in autumn and spring. The front of the house commands an almost complete 180-degree view of the garden’s lawn. The Cycad Garden filled with Cycas revoluta palms as well as the Yatsuhashi Bridge leading into the iris garden can be seen from the south side. On the south side is the garden’s kyokusui (meandering stream), its current a contrast to the slow-flowing rivulet that runs through the house. To the north are the Seiden Fields beyond them the rows of manicured tea shrubs of the tea plantation. Also in view is the rocky back side of Yuishinzan Hill, along with a large rhododendron bush flowering in white and surrounding a cascade-shaped stone arrangement.
