Sengan-en Stone Lantern Ishidoro - Sengan-en is a traditional Japanese garden surrounding a stately home in Kagoshima that has been passed down in the Shimadzu family for over 350 years. The garden boasts views of the active volcano Sakurajima, and the home provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of a powerful feudal lord. The home of Feudal Lord Shimadzu Tadayoshi who lived at the end of the 19th century and known for introducing western technology, especially shipbuilding to Japan during the Meiji Restoration.
