Adelaide Himeji Garden
The Adelaide Himeji Garden was built to symbolise the bonds of friendship between the City of Adelaide and the Himeji Region of Japan. It was opened on 3 April 1985.
The Adelaide City Council resolved in 1982 to make a symbolic garden which might help the people of Adelaide to understand the culture of the Japanese. Osmond Gardens on South Terrace was chosen as the site, as it is easily accessible and contains many fine trees, although not all of them are native to Japan.
The Garden blends two classic styles. the 'senzui' (lake and mountain garden) where the imagination endows the small pond with vastness and grandeur. The second is the 'kare senzui' (dry garden) where rocks and sand evoke the presence of water, even the sea itself
