Yuko-En on the Elkhorn, Japanese garden in Georgetown, Kentucky.
The 5.5-acre garden incorporates Kentucky Bluegrass landscaping with Japanese design elements, including koi ponds, lanterns, and stone paths along Elkhorn Creek.
Local landscape architects Steve Austin and Jeff Singer established this garden in 2000 through cooperation between Georgetown and its sister city Tahara, Japan.
The Kentucky Legislature designated this location as the official Kentucky-Japan Friendship Garden, featuring the Tokugawa Gates and traditional Japanese elements.
Located at 700 Cincinnati Road in Georgetown, the garden welcomes visitors every day from sunrise to sunset without admission fees.
The garden incorporates a Zen rock garden with designs created by local volunteers, viewed from the Elkhorn Viewing Pavilion.
