    Kagoshima Pref. Kagoshimashi Yoshinochou 9700-1
    "This residence and Sengan-en Garden of the Shimazu Clan was built in 1658, by Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the 19th head of the clan. It was well-loved by Shimazu Nariakira, the 28th head of the clan, and visitors to this beautiful garden where Atsu-hime and Saigo Takamori also visited can enjoy the same magnificent views of Kinko Bay and Mt. Sakurajima as they enjoyed. The garden is approximately five hectares in size, with different flowers blooming with the changing of the seasons and various festivities which take place conveying the traditions of the samurai to the present. There are also a wide range of restaurants and shops where visitors can enjoy Satsuma's local cuisine while sightseeing. The entire garden was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site and named a ""Site of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution"" in 2015 and was also a filming location of the 2018 drama series, Segodon."

    Only stayed in Kagoshima for a day but the garden is beautifully crafted and also provides an unobstructive view of the Sakurajima volcano. When you are there do grab lunch at their restaurant as it...

    Kagoshima Pref. Minamikyushushi Chiranchoukori 13731-1
    The site of a former samurai residence located in Chiran-cho, Kagoshima Prefecture. Amongst the group of samurai residences in Chiran, which frequently sport dry rock “waterfalls,” this garden is the only one which makes abundant use of water and which is built around a central pond. The pond forms a beautifully curving arc, while the garden’s foreground makes use of lanterns and stone to represent peninsulas and mountains. Further in, a stunningly formed boulder with a hole in its center is used to represent a cavern. Other intriguingly shaped rocks and greenery are arranged at the back of the pond to frame the beautiful mountains in the distance.

    知覧の武家屋敷の庭園群の最後に訪れたのが、こちらの西郷恵一郎邸庭園です。７ヶ所の庭園の中で一番西側に位置しています。 こちらの庭園は、奥の中心部に高さのある石組みがあり、それが迫力ある構成の要になっているように思えました。こちらの庭園が一番好きかも・・・

  • Saigo Keiichiro’s Garden
    Travel / Tourism
    Kagoshima Pref. Minamikyushushi Chiranchoukori 13731-1
    This garden is located on the sight of an ancient samurai residence in Chiran-cho, Kagoshima Prefecture. Today, visitors of the site can come in contact with the way of life and garden culture prevalent at the time it was built and used. The garden’s gate is a heavy, imposing structure made of wood. The garden itself consists of large stone arrangements, satsuki azaleas, and yew plum pines, resulting in a strange landscape which yet manages to harmonize these two disparate plants. The area around the residence similarly combines hedge and stone walls. The residence is decorated with colorful fittings and accoutrements which visitors can also enjoy the sight of.

    Kagoshima Pref. Minamikyushushi Chiranchoukori 13731-1
    The site of a samurai residence located in Chiran-cho, Kagoshima Prefecture. The garden was built around 1750. The garden, located on the grounds of a residence belonging to the Chiran Shimazu family, the primary branch of the family, is the most magnificent and largest of the family’s gardens. Past the garden’s imposing gate and cut stone designed to prevent visitors from seeing the garden too early, visitors are greeted by the garden’s vast grounds. The garden consists of groups of stones around a central dry waterfall created from large boulders and is planted with satsuki azaleas, yew plum pines, and other plants.

    Kagoshima Pref. Minamikyushushi Chiranchoukori 13731-1
    The site of an old samurai residence located in Chiran-cho, Kagoshima Prefecture. The residence is notable for its extremely plain, simplified design. Beyond the narrow wooden gate, can see a section of scenery encompassing Mt. Hahagatake, resembling an unfurled section of a picture scroll. Unusual for a garden in southern Japan, the garden does not make use of stone walls, instead creating walls and borders through trimmed and shaped satsuki azaleas and yew plum pines. The grounds are dotted with trapezoidal cut blocks of stone, which records state were used as stands for placing bonsai on to enjoy the view of.

    Kagoshima Minamikyushu-shi Chirancho Kori 13731-1
    This borrowed scenery garden, which records state was created in the late Edo period, incorporates the sight of elegant Hahagatake into its scenery. It is one of the seven gardens which make up the National Place of Scenic Beauty-designated Chiran Fumoto Gardens. The arrangement of stones on the north side of the garden are seen as the chief peak of the mountain, while the yew plum pine hedge represents Hahagatake's outstretching ridges. The garden is praised for its calculated beauty; form, which appears as a single, unified garden no matter the vantage point; and spectacular harmony and expressiveness.

around-area-map

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
