This pagoda was disassembled piece by piece and reconstructed here at Sankeien Gardens using most of if not all of the original components.
I'm pretty sure these are lilacs. That boat is the brown in the background.
This tiny shrine was even reconstructed using the same worn stone steps of the original site!
Being so close to the shore line affords the park enough moisture for moss to grow in abundance!
As always, you can expect to see the hard work of craftsmen who know how to assemble this bamboo fences using only rope to tie them together.
Cross the bridge over the pond leads to several small trails that you can take to see other floral attractions or other buildings that were save and rebuilt here.
I don't know what these things are called, but they are common on the corners of most temples, shrines, and homes of wealthy farmers.
This sloping style of roof tends to be more common with Buddhist temples than Buddhist shrines. Of course, some shrines tend to incorporate architectural cues from China, which at the time was primarily Buddhist.
The park has a few small restaurants and coffee/tea shops where you can get some refreshments if you don't mind pay the premium prices.
