Tenrai-an Garden - Mirei Shigemori Memorial Hall Garden was built when Shigemori was only 18, it exhibits his desire to make the most of the tea ceremony. The teahouse structure was moved here from his birthplace. The pathway outside the ceremonial tearoom was constructed at the time of relocation and there is an added dynamic due to the adjacent Yoshikawa Hachimangu Shrine which is dedicated to the gods of the sea. The adjacent dry karesansui garden was designed by the grandson of Mirei, Chisao Shigemori as a kind of homage to his grandfather and to enhance Tenrai-an.
