"This rose that rises out of cement is no bigger that an average backyard but that doesn't stop it from being really beautiful and relaxing. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit it but if I was in the neighborhood, it is a real nice quiet meditation area in the middle of busy Miami
History lesson time kids -
In the 1950's, Mr. Kiyoshi Ichimura became enamored with the City of Miami and began sending dismantled objects and materials from Tokyo along with carpenters, gardeners and a landscape architect to design and construct, what in 1961 would become, the "San-Ai-An Japanese Garden."
Beginning in Fall 2001, the site upon which it was located was converted to a new facility for the Tropical Parrot Garden that had previously been located in downtown Miami.
The Japanese garden has been reduced in size and was moved to an adjacent 1 acre site, where it was restored. The City of Miami and landscape architect Lester Collins Pancoast and architect Thorn Grafton worked cooperatively with the Japanese Consul and The Friends of the Japanese Garden to redesign and reconstruct the Ichimura Miami-Japan Garden. It was re-opened in 2006.
This garden is located on the Miami end of the MacArthur Causeway, on Watson Island, the extension of I-395 that connects Miami to Miami Beach.

アメリカにある日本庭園は、手入れをする人が日本の庭師ではないため、徐々にマイアミらしい庭園になってきています・・・
マイアミ市に寄贈した市村清さんは、リコー(マイアミにもありますね)の創始者と聞きました。
市立公園なので、入場料は無料です。
