This is an octagonal (hexagonal) temple with a cypress bark roof floating on Sagi-ike Pond in Nara Park. The reflection on the water's surface is beautiful, making it a place to relax by the water. The current Ukimido was restored to its beauty through three years of restoration work from 1991 to 1994, as the old Ukimido had become dilapidated. You will come across it as you walk through the Asajigahara forest from Kasuga Taisha Shrine.
