Many of the buildings were under renovation and could not be viewed. However what we could see was still worth the trip. Great experience to compare to daimyos on Honshu. Also includes entry to the museum next door. Klook ticket offers a discount compared to door price

It was a very satisfying tour. I went whenever I wanted and showed the voucher QR code. They put on a pretty bracelet and asked me when I wanted to eat lunch. They said lunch was about 2 and a half to 3 hours later, which was just right. I went in and looked around comfortably, made one of the experience key chains or air fresheners, did archery, had lunch, and even had shaved ice. The price is ridiculous.

The main hall of Senganen and Sakurajima volcano are like a fusion of ancient architecture and magnificent nature, showing the Japanese style poetry in silence. It is really worth a visit.

It’s easy to redeem as the QR code provided works at the gate without any contact with the staff. What a beautiful place with the view of Sakurajima volcano and a gorgeous cat shrine on site for cat lovers.

Senganen is a pretty nice Japanese garden to visit. The package includes a small mochi drink and a bottle of wine. Although the weather was bad and we couldn't see Sakurajima volcano, it was still ok overall. Recommended!

It is very convenient to buy tickets for Xianyan Garden. Buying electronic tickets on KLOOK is cheaper than buying tickets on site. After checkout, you will immediately receive an admission voucher with a QRCODE. You do not need to wait in line and can enter the park directly by scanning the code. The whole process is fast and smooth, which is very suitable for tourists who don't want to waste time. The garden itself is beautiful, and taking photos with Sakurajima as the background is super beautiful. It is a must-visit attraction when visiting Kagoshima.

You can buy the ticket package for Xianyan Garden here. It is great to exchange it for a bottle of shochu, two-stick cake and tea. The scenery inside is beautiful, and the cat shrine above is very special 👍👍👍
