Shinsetsu-kyo at Shosei-en - A wooden bridge called Shinsetsu-kyo connects the west edge of Ingetsu-ichi pond and Kita-oshima, the north island. Shosei-en Garden was designed as a retreat for the chief priest Sen'nyo. Shosei-en is also called Kikoku-tei "Orange Mansion" because it was once surrounded by orange groves. The garden is a Chisen-Kaiyu-Shiki teien that is a pond strolling garden with buildings such as tea-ceremony houses arranged here and there throughout the grounds.
