Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden

Nice Quiett getaway. Quick and easy to check out, no more than an hour. Ring the friendship bell, it’s fun. 👍

The view was amazing, you will feel so relax looking at the gardens and can imagine that you’re in Japan. However, I was expecting that it’s a long walk to go through and I was surprised that it was just a small Japanese garden. The admission fee is a little too much for this small scenery to see and enjoy. The staff are so friendly though.

We enjoyed the serenity of the gardens as they were meant to be serene. The walk along the paths and the trees were very relaxing. We went through the building on site and a young lady Noreve took the time to help us make origami birds. She also explained to us that if you make one thousand of the birds you get good luck and happiness. While we were there we got to write down a wish on a piece of paper and it was tied to a tree. We are planning another visit but either in the spring when the trees are blooming or the fall when the trees change their colours. Otherwise an enjoyable visit.

Nice enough gardens, but veri lacking in colors. For the admission cost, we were disappointed. If it weren't for the small drumming show we would have been gone in less than 30 minutes. And the rules are a little ridiculous. Don't walk on the grass and rocks. YOU MUST STAY ON THE PATHS . They need to improve the scenery a little.

The perfect place for a staff Christmas party and then grab a hot chocolate to go see the lights. The drummers were excellent too! Fun to ring the bell. There needs to be a bench or two where people can stop and rest as people in our group had mobility issues but still loved the walk.
