Located at the southern end of the Washington Park Arboretum, is the Seattle Japanese Garden, a 3 1/2 acre model of a formal Japanese garden. The stone lanterns, water feature, wildlife, winding paths, wildlife, flowers, colors and rock are arranged in the style of a late 16th century stroll garden. This Seattle treasure opened in 1960.
The landscape designer, Juki Iida, planned the garden "faithful to the principle of shizensa, the essence of nature."
