Dating back 150 years to the Meiji period, trees and gardens gifted by House of Peers member Genjiro Takahashi.
Chikkoen Park in Nichinan, Miyazaki Prefecture, is a historic garden dating back 150 years to the Meiji period, originally created as a gift from House of Peers member Genjiro Takahashi. The carefully landscaped grounds feature mature trees, ornamental ponds, and winding paths that create pockets of shade and tranquility within the coastal city. The garden's design blends traditional Japanese landscaping principles with the subtropical vegetation native to Miyazaki, including palm trees and flowering shrubs that give the park a distinctive southern character. Chikkoen is a peaceful retreat for a morning stroll, particularly pleasant in spring when azaleas bloom along the garden's edges.
