Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre

Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre The centre of Japanese Cultural heritage in Australia Tranquil. It's the perfect word to describe Cowra's Japanese Garden. Is this the most serene place in NSW?
(379)

You can't help but feel completely at peace when you walk through the lush gardens and cascading streams which represent the landscapes of Japan: where the hill is a mountain, streams are the rivers and the ponds inland lakes and the sea. Spend some time walking around the exquisitely manicured Kaiyushiki (strolling) garden, designed by Ken Nakajima and opened in 1979. You be the judge!!
