Nitobe Memorial Garden
Nitobe Memorial Garden is a peaceful traditional Japanese stroll garden and authentic tea house located at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The garden is one of the most authentic Japanese gardens outside of Japan. The garden is beautiful in all weather and highlights the passing of the seasons: cherry blossoms shower the garden in spring, irises bloom in summer, maple leaves glow red and yellow in fall. Trees—both native and Japanese—are pruned in the Japanese tradition to frame the garden in winter. No matter what time of year, carpets of moss, bridges that span a koi pond and iris bed, and stone paths that cross waterfalls, create a peaceful atmosphere that invites the visitor to reflect on both the beauty of nature and its place in their lives.
