The Japanese Gardens were created by Japanese garden architect Ken Nakajima as a kaiyū-shiki, a strolling garden. The garden symbolises reconciliation and peace after World War II, and after the local conflict.
The Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre is located in the town of Cowra, in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. The 5 ha garden was established to recognise and develop the historic and ongoing relationship between the people of Cowra Shire and the people of Japan.
