The Ukimido Gazebo is a hexagonal gazebo with thatched cypress roofing floating over Nara Park's Sagi-ike Pond. Its geometric shape reflects beautifully in the water below, and the building is a rest spot along the waterside.  

It's a wondrous sight to catch it early in the morning, as it appears to rise from the pond wrapped in curls of mist. Visitors can also enjoy the nearby flora as it changes throughout the seasons.
