Shoten-in Garden - Shorakuji - The main hall used to be located in the Chisen Garden beyond the central gate, but was moved to the top of the mountain in 2000. After being relocated, the pond was expanded and became the current garden - creating a space with white sand, and in the back there is a pond garden that takes advantage of the mountain range. The rocks have been made to look like flowing water - called mizuochi-ishi and is a stunning rock surface that looks like running water.
