It used to be a place for retainers of Shibata Domain to practice equestrian skill and archery during the feudal government period and it has been said that the road in front of the gate is its traces. Nearby the Sekisensou is “Shimizutani palace” (currently, Shimizuen garden), which used to be a Daimyo villa of Shibata Domain and shows you a part of history of city of Shibata.

It is a unique Japanese garden where Shibata river flows in the center of the garden. You can find architectures of the Meiji-era such as the Main building, Detached room, etc. within its 1,500 tsubo (approx. 5,000 ㎡) site area. The Detached room as well as the Tea room are registered cultural properties, making it an outstanding garden that only those with reservations can enter.
