Japanese Garden in Hermann Park
Independence Trail Region
Designed by renowned Japanese landscape architect Ken Nakajima in the 17th-century Daimyo style, the garden symbolizes the friendship between Japan and the U.S. Colorful Japanese maple and cherry trees intertwine with live oaks and pines above a stone path meandering to a small pond. A shoreline teahouse was built in Japan with traditional materials and donated by the Commemorative Association.
