A stop at Cowra just isn't complete without a visit to our Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre. Opened in 1979, this multi award winning attraction is a must see at any time of the year, whether you are on your first visit to Cowra or your fiftieth.

Ken Nakajima created the Kaiyushiki (strolling) garden at Cowra, which is designed to take each visitor on a voyage of discovery. The Garden represents the landscapes of Japan where the hill is the mountain, streams are rivers while ponds are inland lakes and the sea.

Special features of the Garden include: an authentic open air Tea House, a working Pottery House, Tatami room (a traditional Japanese living room) and a Bonsai House. The Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre is open daily (except Christmas day) from 8.30 am to 5pm. It is located off Binni creek road, Cowra nsw 2794.

Special Features

Take time to explore the Garden and experience its tranquillity and beauty. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic lunch or take advantage of Chill restaurant. Chill overlooks the Garden and offers morning and afternoon teas and lunches six days per week (Tuesday to Sunday). Chill also caters for functions and special events with groups always welcome.

Further Information

The Cultural Centre adjoins the Garden and has two galleries featuring an extensive collection of Japanese works of art and artefacts. A third gallery houses rotating exhibitions highlighting the work of local painters, sculptors and wood carvers.
