Visiting a Chinese-style garden in Kagoshima

Next we were going to Kangakuen (冠嶽園), a Chinese-style garden in Ichikikushikino, Kagoshima. The garden was open in April 1992. It is said that it was made with the wishes of friendship exchange with Xu Fu's hometown, China which together with honoring the master Xu Fu at the site of Choho-in.

Let's take a tour of the beautiful sansui landscape garden.

A pavilion seems from the garden. There are some display items such as paintings, landscape pictures and so on. And it's free!

The style of the garden is the natural style sansui garden, it is modeled on the shape of the garden near Suzhou, China where is the mecca of the Chinese gardens. Most of them were built during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

We left the garden and headed to Hanagawa Sabou Park (花川砂防公園 -koen) where located the Bogakutei (望嶽亭) pavilion. The park was all built in the Chinese style, and we came here for a moment we feel like China.
