The small stream that feeds the Osawa Pond.

Osawa Pond's boating pier.

Remnant of the Nakoso Waterfall, famed in early Heian times.

The banks of the Osawa Pond are filled with old Buddhist statues.

We know that Kudara had a hand in creating the gardens and Nakoso Waterfall (名古曽瀧), now one of the last remnants of the original grounds.
The pond was made by damming a stream that poured over the waterfall. To prevent water seeping away the pond was lined with clay and rock.
