Botanical gardens flooded with lights, shining water, and the sky is amazing. Also, the music is heartwarming, it makes you feel relax. However, there is a place in Tempura full of sweet scent that attracts people all around world coming for a visit. It is the spring woods.
When the Tempura was almost completed at May 2008, there were only cherry trees in full blossom at the spring woods situated on the west side of Tempura. The sprinkling cherry flower is considered as a kind of cool symbol, a flower of a good last moment that has no fatuous regrets or adhesion to the life and goes away without more ado.
But they thought that it was not enough to put cherry blossom in the spring woods.Furthermore, the spring woods are located on the west side. In the Japanese Buddhism, the west is considered as the West Pure Land that is a sanctuary which is the living place of ancestors.
At a time in the past, there was Period of Warring States in Japan, when warring loads of regions were struggling for supremacy and territory. When they were face to face for starting battle, they tried to position their troops on the west side as close as possible. They believed that it was close to the West Pure Land where their ancestors are, and they could go there easily when they would die in battle.
In the sea of woods of the spring, they decided to put lotus bloom that is the flower of Buddhism. The lotus bloom is a flower on which Buddha is sitting in Pure Land. Buddha sits on the lotus with a special sitting pose, Kekka-Fuza (sitting with crossed legs). They thought the lotus is the most suitable one for the spring woods.
It is said that the spring is a season when a hypothalamus in the brain is stimulated by the warm sunshine and the sexual hunger, a part of human instinct is enhanced. The spring is also a season for love for living beings.
Please visit the spring woods at Tempura. You might be hit by an arrow of love in the sweet scent of the lotus flowers!
Video story:

Soon, two got a charge out of dancing, carrying a torch for love. Then, the time flying passed. Unconsciously, the princess relaxed herself at the lotus field together with the cat, envisioning the incident in the castle. Were these things in Tempura itself, a dream, fantasy, or perform of something else?
