Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre
Opened in 1979, the multi award-winning Cowra Japanese Garden is a "must see" at any time of the year. The Garden's designer, Ken Nakajima, created the Kaiyushiki (strolling) garden to symbolise the Japanese landscape. The rocky hillside, manicured hedges, waterfalls and streams, and the two lake provide a serene and secure environment for a myriad of local birdlife. Special features of the Garden include a Bonsho Bell, a traditional Edo Cottage, an authentic open air Tea House and a Bonsai House.
The cultural centre adjoins the main entrance building, with the first gallery showcasing exhibitions from a variety of local and regional artists. The next two galleries feature an extensive collection of beautiful Japanese artworks and artefacts.
Take time to explore the five hectares of garden and enjoy its beauty and tranquillity. Feed the Koi carp from one of two viewing platforms overlooking the lakes. Hire an audio tour for a more intimate and informative experience. Scooters are also available for hire, to assist elderly or disabled visitors.
