The composition of the garden is dominated by two water cascades, a small lake and a thirteen stage pagoda. The garden is the site for many annual events include the Bonn Bonsai Club's annual show.

We'll warm our bodies gathering maple leaves, In turn those red boughs to the flames consign; And then we'll warm the sake, hot and sweet, To warm our autumn hearts with the hot wine.   Ritai Haku
