Naka Shin'en (Middle Garden)
Visitors who pass through the cluster of trees behind the shrine's main
buildings will find a beautiful garden called Naka Shin'en. this garden,
as well as the Nishi Shin'en, was constructed in 1895. It contains the
Soryu-ike pond which features the Garyu-kyo, a walkway consisting of stone
pillars which once served as foundation stones for the girders of Sanjo
Ohashi and Gojo Ohashi, famous bridges in the center of the city of Kyoto.
The pond is surrounded by an exquisite expanse of rabbit-ear irises.
