Eigenzan Park

Eigenzan Park is a municipal park in Shunan City featuring landscaped gardens, walking trails, fountains, and cascades surrounded by seasonal flowers and native trees. The grounds also include a swimming pool, an art museum, and designated picnic areas.

The park was founded to commemorate the establishment of the municipal system in Shunan City in Yamaguchi Prefecture. It has grown to serve as an important public space for the community.

The name means "property mountain" and reflects the local landscape of the region. Today, visitors observe how local people use the space for walking and gathering together.

The park is located around five minutes from Shin-Nanyo station on the JR Sanyo main line, making it easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should dress for the season, as the gardens offer different activities and plants depending on when you visit.

The park features a Dutch wind wheel called Yume-Fusha that symbolizes the sister city relationship between Shunan and Delfzijl in the Netherlands. This unusual connection shows how two cities across continents express their bond through physical landmarks.
