Senseki Garden

This large-scale rock garden, measuring approximately 40,000m², is a unique example of a new Japanese garden style, allowing visitors to admire inscribed stones, megaliths, unusually shaped stones, and grouped stones from all over Japan while walking through a corridor. In addition to numerous megaliths and unusually shaped stones, the Shinsekiden (Sacred Stone Hall), with its eye-catching giant mokkoku tree and cypress tree at the entrance, displays beautiful raw mineral stones in addition to bonsai. The garden is home to Sengoku-Fuji, Lake Sengoku, and Senjin-Otaki waterfalls, and is home to an abundance of seasonal trees, including plums, various cherry blossoms, peonies, azaleas, crape myrtles, crimson camphor trees, and maples, making it a place to be enjoyed year-round. Dr. Yamana Seizo (pen name Kinzan), a resident of Zoga, Higashihiroshima City, personally planned and designed the garden over a period of more than 20 years, investing his own money to bring it to its current state.
