Walking along a causeway built on the former moat of Edo Castle, one arrives at a large hotel. It is the Hotel New Otani, which has nearly 1,500 guest rooms. This is Tokyo, and I am not a tourist. I don't care how cheap the rooms are, I have no use for them. I came here to visit the garden on the hotel grounds. The site where the hotel stands used to be a daimyo's mansion. There is a garden that is based on the daimyo's garden at that time.
The garden is built on a slope with a pond and a stream running through the trees. The air is peaceful. I am not the only one who thinks this kind of place is picturesque. In one corner of the garden, a bride and groom, who had probably just married at the hotel, were taking commemorative photos. The bride and groom were posing on a bridge over a pond. Everyone was pointing their cameras at the bride. Beyond the bride stood a large tree, and further beyond that, a large building rose.
