Our beloved Japanese Garden is turning 50! Discover the timeless harmony of nature and design.

Japanese gardens are often given names which reflect their characters. Gan Ryuu Tei, the name of our garden, means Rock Stream Garden. The rock stream, as well as symbolic mountains and clouds, can be appreciated while on a short walk through the Japanese Garden.
