When Niou made a pilgrimage to Hatsuse, Kaoru accompanied him. Leaving Yugiri's second house at Uji, Kaoru and Niou boarded a boat with some princes who were fond of music. They made a visit to the Eight Prince's villa, which was across the river. A landing had been built from the river to the villa, and was furnished with step. These were in good taste and suitable for a mountain dwelling. The river music called "Kansuiraku" was played as they were rowed across. The music became clearer when they approached the villa.
