What I find most interesting in England is model boat pool.
There is a large park near my house.
and There is a model boat pool in it.
It is 50 metre x 20 metre and 50 cm deep.

Rather than 50 cm deep we may better say 50 cm high, as the pool is surrounded by concrete wall and the surface of the water is above knees, which would be very dangerous at the time of earthquake and never exist in samurailand.

Every day a few old men come to the pool and remotecontrol theire boats.
Old men should play shogi or go or raise bonsai.

Industrialised since long.
