# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Kaiyū Strolling Garden: Everything gets arranged so it can be taken in at once, and the one thing the form depends on, a view that changes as you walk, stops working.
# - Sukiya Style: Swapping materials for Japanese ones while keeping western ceiling heights and opening sizes never produces the lightness, and the room stops at Japanese style decor.
