Bupposhoryuji Temple Garden, Lake Suwa - The gardens are composed in different areas surrounding the temple main hall. These are the remains of the Momoyama period with stone configurations and construction and in the center of the pond, tortoise islands have been added over the centureis. Behind the main hall the garden continues and the pond shape of the Chinese character for heart. Additionally there are other gardens added during the Meiji and Taisho periods, originally conceived for form a rose, no separated into two small ponds. The Showa Period garden, slightly more modern, features a waterfall, and a statue is sculpted beside the waterfall. The composition and arrangements of the plants are what makes this area of the garden special. Taken as a whole, Bupposhoryuji Temple Garden needs to be considered a kind of triptiych collection of gardens, spanning different eras of Japanese history, rather than one single garden
