Geocache Description:

"Suirokaku" is located in Nanzenji-temple.

There is made of bricks partly covered by moss in Nanzenji temple. This aqueduct has a somber tone character, a bit more than a century old and it is a branch of the canal, carrying water from the Lake Biwa. It was built in Meiji 21 (1889) The aqueduct became an antique, its color calms down the eye and now it is blending wonderfully with the surrounding landscape. Since ancient times Kyoto tackled very skillfully various cultures.

南禅寺にある水路閣は明治時代に造られた「琵琶湖疏水」の一部です。琵琶湖から運ばれてきた水を京都の北側へ運ぶためのものです。
建設当時は歴史ある南禅寺の境内に近代的な建築物を建造するのに反対も強かったそうですが、現在では歴史を伝える重要な文化財となっています。
