Osawano Japanese Gardens at Wellington have something unique that you won't find in many or any other Japanese Gardens. In the centre of the gardens there is a beautiful big Aussie gum tree.
A central feature is a man-made mountain from which water cascades down via a stream of ponds then winds its way under several bridges to a reflection pool over which sits a water pavilion.
Donated from firms in Osawano is a striking 4.5 metre stone lantern tower.
Wellington's Sister City, Osawano, Japan, gave the gardens as a $270,000 gift to Wellington.
The gardens were constructed between February and November 1999. The funding for the project was a gift donated by Osawano Town Council, the design and construction of the gardens was undertaken by Wellington Council. The gardens were officially opened by the Mayor of Osawano Maachi, Mr Tadao Nakasai on 21 November 1999 in conjunction with Wellington Mayor, Mark Griggs.
