Discover the beauty and tranquillity of the Cowra Japanese Garden & Cultural Centre, the largest Japanese garden in the Southern Hemisphere. Designed by world‑renowned landscape architect Ken Nakajima, this 12.5‑acre Kaiyushiki (strolling‑style) garden features winding paths, cascading waterfalls, two serene lakes, manicured hedges, and traditional structures including an Edo‑period cottage, open‑air tea house, and Bonsai House.

Created as a symbol of peace and reconciliation between Australia and Japan, the Garden offers a calming environment for visitors of all ages - whether you’re joining us for a peaceful day out, a hands‑on workshop, or one of our cultural festivals and events.

We invite you to explore, learn, and immerse yourself in the artistry and spirit of Japanese design and culture throughout the year.
