Alena EckelmannVisit the Shimazu Residence in Sengan-en, a traditional Japanese garden, one of the best in Japan!
Sengan-en
Sengan-en (仙巌園) is Kagoshima's renowned Edo-era stroll garden, situated in the northern part of the city. Once the home of the ruling Shimazu family, the garden relies heavily on the surrounding landscape to create the effect of 'borrowed scenery".
