Japanese Garden, Japanese garden in Prado, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The 3000-square-meter garden includes stone paths, wooden bridges, a tea house, a lake with koi fish, and a waterfall among Japanese plants.
The garden opened on September 24, 2001, marking 80 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Uruguay through a significant cultural exchange.
Japanese landscape architect Haruho Ieda designed this San-Sui style garden, incorporating traditional elements of mountain and water in the composition.
Located behind the Juan Manuel Blanes Museum, the garden welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:45 PM with free admission.
A wooden plaque with calligraphy by former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi displays 'Heisei-en,' naming the garden after Emperor Akihito's era.
