The Syouyoen garden referred to Hakkei in order to take care of the successor's homesick because Rinnoji Temple used to invite its successor from the Imperial family. The Imperial family was familiar with the view of Hakkei in Oumi in Shiga prefecture. 
The Syouyoen garden was made in early Edo period originally, but reformed in the beginning of 19th century. A Confucian scholar, Issai Sato gave a name of Syouyoen when it was reformed. You will find the building, which enshrines successive successors and Imperial family. It is located on the direction of east.
Payment Accepted:
Getting there:
Rinnoji's Sanbutsudo stands just a few steps east of Toshogu, a 30 minute walk or 10 minute bus ride (300 Yen one way, 500 Yen day pass, covered by the Tobu free passes) from Tobu and JR Nikko Stations

It was the first Japanese garden I saw...and I think I began with a good one. You can see here: lake, path, moss, little bridge, tress, little statues, bushes, shine and shadow...and gardener.
