This small but well-maintained garden provides a peaceful atmosphere for those seeking a quiet retreat. Visitors appreciate the authentic design elements, including a tea house, koi pond, and traditional plantings. The garden's limited size allows for a quick visit, which some find advantageous, while others wish for a more extensive experience.
