One of Toowoomba’s most tranquil treasures is the University of Southern Queensland’s Japanese Garden. ‘Ju Raku En’ roughly translates to mean ‘to enjoy peace and longevity in a public place’ – and you certainly will!
Opened in 1989, Ju Raku En is one of Australia’s largest and most traditionally designed Japanese stroll gardens. It features a central lake with vibrant red traditional-style Japanese bridges, serene waterfalls, cherry blossom trees, bamboo avenues, a tea house, an azalea hill, a wisteria arbour, and conifer plantings. It’s the perfect place to Zen out!
Garden enthusiasts will be impressed with more than 230 species of Japanese and Australian native trees and plants on display.
The Japanese Gardens are open daily and free to visit. Pups are welcome, but please remember the peaceful setting and clean up after your four-legged friends.
