Senseki Garden

You can walk around and appreciate famous stones, megaliths, odd-shaped stones, and grouped stones from all over Japan, and it is a large-scale rock garden of about 20,000 tsubo, which is the only one of its kind in Japan. In addition to the numerous megaliths and odd-shaped stones, the Shinsekiden, with its eye-catching huge cedar at the entrance, displays bonseki, suiseki, and mineral ore. It also features Sengoku Fuji, Lake Sengoku, and Senjin Otaki waterfall, and is rich in seasonal trees such as plums, various cherry blossoms, peonies, azaleas, crape myrtles, crimson campanulas, and maples, making it a place you can enjoy all year round. Yamana Seizo (pen name Kotoyama), a doctor living in Zoga, Higashihiroshima, planned, designed, and constructed the garden himself over a period of more than 10 years, investing his own money to create the garden that is today.
