Cowra Japanese Garden

How great is this place. Some of you know that I am a hopeless Japanophile, having been to the country 6 times, doing gardens and temple complexes from Hiroshima, Kyoto, Tokyo, Matsamoto, Sapporo and everything in between and the gardens here in Cowra are right up there with some of the best.

Nakajima San the designer also designed the Imperial Palace gardens in Tokyo and the Japanese Gardens in NYC and these gardens are every bit as good. Stunning views from all areas and the addition of Gums scattered through the garden is a fantastic touch. As you wander around the paths you stumble across lizards sunning themselves and kookaburra singing in the tress - Bliss.
