Hakugyokurou

Recently, we have many chances to hear about a place for sightseeing. It's the Netherworld.

The border of the Netherworld became somehow thinner, so it's easy to enter there even if you're alive; originally, it's the place after death.

Once you enter there, at first you'll surprised at a quiet and far large garden.

It's hazy in the distance, so even if you fly over the sky faster and faster, you'll never see the end.

You'll be surprised again; the garden belongs to just one mansion.

The mansion with far large garden standing at the Netherworld is called Hakugyokurou, which is a Japanese mansion slightly mixed with an atmosphere of foreign countries.

Indeed the mansion is rather large, but there's no denying that it's smaller than the length of the garden.

The garden of Hakugyokurou shows a beautiful cherry blossoms, that's to say, sea of cherry blossoms, which is never seen in Gensokyo.

Plenty of ghosts and youkais attracted by these beautiful ones visit here every year.

Recently, alive humans also have known the existence at last. That's why a flower-viewing party is held by alive and dead beings at Hakugyokurou.

It's not certain how long the border stays thinner, so I recommend you visit there now if you can.

I also took part in the party and I saw a raving scene: huge number of ghosts and Three Prismriver Sisters live in concert.

I thought the Netherworld was a quiet place, so I was surprised at my misunderstanding.

In other words, humans will be able to live merrily like this in the world after death, so they can live their lives, I think.

In order to spend the cheerful life in the Netherworld, they live hard without commiting suicide so as not to be fallen down to Hell.

Thinking like this, humans are both hardworker and adorable beings.
