Former Ikeda Family Garden
A Japanese-style garden built by the Ikeda family, one of the three greatest landowners in the Tohoku region. Be surprised and moved by Japan's tallest large-scale three-legged stone lantern at approximately 4m in height. Also designated as one of Japan's National Scenic Places of Beauty, the foliage in the autumn here is worth seeing.
