Adelaide Himeji Garden

The Adelaide-Himeji Garden is a classical Japanese garden, gifted to Adelaide by Hemeji, their sister city.

The tranquil space contains features which are of profound religious significance to the Japanese people. It contains features designed to recall the beauty of nature.

The Garden blends two classic styles. The first is the 'senzui' (lake and mountain garden), where water and the imagination create images of vastness and grandeur. The second is the 'kare senzui' (dry garden), where rocks and sand evoke the presence of water, even the sea itself.
