Shirotori—or Swan—Garden's Seiu-tei Teahouse lies in the middle of the park along the stream. Kyoto sukiya and local Owari construction styles combine forces for an authentic teahouse made from natural materials. The teahouse attempts to portray a swan as it descends from flight from overhead with a tearoom representing the head connected by a bridge, or neck, which meets with another tearoom like the body. A hall in the main structure, its two tearooms, and the chance to enjoy tea and the views from a chair on a bank in the pond are just another way to enjoy the garden.

Numerous events take place at Shirotori Garden which let you get in touch with the flowers, plant life, and Japanese culture throughout the four seasons. Guided tours are also available every Saturday, allowing you to learn about the must-see spots of the garden, the establishment's history, and even the floral and avian life which calls the garden home.
Once you know the incredible yet lesser known aspects of the garden, your walks through it become all the more vivid and memorable.
