En'unkan Garden, Japanese strolling garden in Kesennuma, Japan
En'unkan Garden features ponds, stone lanterns, and meticulously pruned trees arranged to create views that change with each passing season.
The garden emerged around 1700, during Japan's Edo period, and received its designation as a Place of Scenic Beauty from the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
The garden layout demonstrates Japanese landscape principles through its arrangement of water features, pathways, and vegetation in a confined natural space.

The garden survived the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, standing as a symbol of resilience in the coastal city of Kesennuma.
