[he gets up and leads to A to jardin du taisho, and i'm just going to c&p from the official description: "Through a sliding door in the living room of Taisho’s dorm is a large outdoor Japanese-style landscape garden, centered around a rocky, two level koi pond. Upon going through the door, one will find oneself on a long overhanging walkway attached to the dorm-side wall of the garden. The walkway itself is wooden and painted red with a slanted roof which is adorned with hanging metal lanterns. Wooden chairs are located here, and the walkway itself is bordered by sturdy railing one can lean on to view the garden and relax. A gap in the railing makes way for willow-shaded steps that lead down into the garden proper, where a stony path leads to the pond. The pond itself has a few large decorative stones for it, as well as a short waterfall that drops from its second level. The primary feature of the pond is a large sakura tree which sweeps low over it and is seemingly always in bloom, despite also always dropping its petals. Pebble walkways (beside which is the occasional standing temple lantern) provide paths around the pond and up to its second tier, where a variety of roses grow. The rest of the garden’s flora is largely wild grasses, mosses, hedges, and small bonsai shrubs. A large rocky outcropping rings the garden, preventing anyone from wandering too far. Aside from the sakura, there are also several magnolia trees throughout the area, as well as patches of chrysanthemum scattered throughout."
there's also a private open-air onsen bath, as if we weren't fancy enough]
