The date for me and Karuizawa's plan had changed to Monday, since the garden had to close down for some maintenance. So I told my sister... this is troublesome. I told Mahiru to tell coach Thea I would be absent.

Me and Karuizawa met after class and headed straight to the garden on the train.

We arrived at our location at 3:43 PM, and used our tickets to gain access.

"This is so exciting!" Screamed Karuizawa, "hey, could you take a picture of me?" She asked and handed me her phone.

"Sure thing, stand right there. Wave and smile" I said and snapped a photo.

"It looks great!" She exclaimed, letting her smile control herself

"Let's get going, I don't want to stay too long as Kawasaki Frontale faces off against FC Tokyo tonight" I said, keeping my schedule in mind.

She scoffed a bit, but we continued on our way.

A long stone pathway with flowered hedges cut short appeared, but in front of us almost a mile a way is a castle that contains history of this palace.

Smaller more medieval buildings are present nearby, selling drinks, flowers, and so on.

Karuizawa was excited, as she passionately went around the intricate designs to see each detail. It couldn't have been a better day to visit as there are no clouds present in the bright blue sky.

The faint smell of flowers gave off a pleasant smell, keeping even me entertained.

The brick path itself had multiple colors, due to the variation of brick ages. But I have to admit, the place is beautiful. The hanging baskets a the buildings made the place feel more alive.

"Come on, Ayanokoji-kun! Let's go see the hoop houses over there!" She said to me, delighted.

We entered the hoop house finding various green plants being grown. It seems that this garden also sustains the small village on the area, as I have also noticed that the place tries to rely on the least amount of electronics as they can, giving it the feel of what it use so be like.

"Man, I feel like I'm in the 1700's right now! This is so awesome!"
