Demizu Stream

Demizu Stream was created in 1981, inspired by the garden stream that used to be found in the gardens of the court nobles’ residential area. It is a popular water playground for children in the summer, and is well known for flowers such as wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox var. lutea) that bloom in early spring and the late-blooming Japanese cherry trees.
