Seibien Garden is located in Hirakawa City. This garden was completed in 1911. The garden and the estate, which blends Japanese and Western architectural styles,  are nationally designated scenic spots. The site has recently been used as the inspiration for the setting of the Studio Ghibli animated film : The Secret World of Arrietty. The house and gardens are beautiful, whether you are a fan of Miyazaki’s work or not!
