    You might wander off and go into unintended direction as there are no signpostings around. Be aware of cultural sensitivities.

    It is a favorite place to see the beautiful scenery of the four seasons.

    The play of duck, carp, and sweetfish is so cute 😍 The water quality is good, so you can wash your heart. On warm days, it is recommended to take out on a bench along the river ❣️
