himeji garden

This is a lovely peaceful place to have a picnic. Parking next to the garden is not difficult, and there is a covered area if the weather is inclement, but it is nicer to picnic on the lawn. The planting around the fence makes this into a really private spot, and of course it has a small lake.

A little haven that is beautifully looked after. A gift from our sister city in japan, Humeji. A perfect spot to wallow for a little while.

This gorgeous garden off South Terrace is a delightful haven any time of year. It is a Japanese style garden where the aim is to find peace while enjoying the exquisite beauties of nature. I have visited famous gardens in Japan and this little gem is a fine example of how to transpose the essential design elements in a foreign land. Thank you for this gift.

Loved this little serene garden. After trekking around Adelaide all day it was lovely to unwind and appreciate the quietness of this little landscaped Garden.

An especially nice place to bring our Japanese exchange student. Not quite to the standard of a public garden you'd find in Japan but still a lovely Adelaide Japanese inspired garden.

lovely little spot in the city. Nice to take a picnic and enjoy the peace. A lot of work has gone into it, we went on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy but I would definitely recommend a visit.

Nice, quiet spot out of the way. Take some lunch and chill while the turtles do their turtley thang.

We visited in the rain and had this lovely and well tended garden to ourselves. It's small, right on the city edge in South Terrace, free to visit, parking is easy and all the skills of beautiful Japanese garden making are on show.

I live almost opposite these gardens and go there often. My 5 year old great nephew loves it aNo asks to return there despite two playgrounds being as close!The gardens and lawns attract photographers and wedding parties etc although the garden is not huge. Children love the pond with its ducks and tortoises. In spring there are ducklings too. Peace and tranquility is the overall feel.

Lovely little garden, I think it's a nice place to have lunch or to simply sit and relax if you live or work nearby. The garden is too small however to consider it to be a great tourist attraction.

Peaceful and quiet. Suitable to sit and have a cup of coffee at the zen garden. The garden is located nearby many cafes.There's a pond in the middle and the plants are very well kept.

What a beautifully sculptured garden. Lovely colours in Spring and Autumn. Little ducklings running around and swimming in the central pond. A lovely spot for peace and tranquility.

This is well worth the visit - beautiful manicured garden and pond with fish and turtles. My son and I spent a long time here in the Japanese influenced gardens

The gardens are so peaceful and worth a prolonged visit. To wander around slowly or to stop for a while and feel the peace is very beautiful. It is very well designed and cared for. Worth going.
