Japanese Garden features

The Japanese Garden ('Ju Raku En') is one of Australia's largest and most traditionally designed Japanese stroll garden. It was opened on 21 April 1989 by Mr Yoshiharu Araki from the Brisbane Consul-General of Japan. Ju Raku En is a relatively young garden and it will take many years for it to be considered complete. 

The garden emphasise the use of rocks to create three dimensional pictures in stone. All the large rocks in Ju Raku En were accurately placed by the designer of the garden, Professor Kinsaku Nakane of Kyoto, so as to appear naturally dispersed in a random way.

Ju Raku En is a presentation of Buddhist paradise with the celestial sea (the lake) lapping the rocky shores of the three islands where the immortals are said to dwell. The material world is the outer edge of the lake and a symbolic journal to paradise may be made by crossing one of the four bridges to the islands.

Notable features of this unique Japanese Garden include:

  • a central lake, mountain stream and waterfalls
  • cherry blossom trees
  • bamboo avenue
  • wisteria arbour
  • dry garden
  • azalea hill
  • tea house
  • 230 species of Japanese and Australian native trees and plants. 

Facilities available to enjoy while visiting the garden include:

  • picnic facilities and shaded pavilions
  • 3 kilometers of paths
  • a variety of seating options near and around the central lake
  • toilet amenities
  • easy to access parking at 免费色片 near the southern entry gate.

The Japanese Garden is a popular venue for weddings and other special occasions. Spring weddings are often held under the mass of lilac blossoms hanging from the Wisteria Pergola, while other couples choose to be married in front of the waterfall or under the viewing pavilion on one of the islands.
