Roji-en Japanese Gardens, Japanese botanical garden in Delray Beach, Florida
Roji-en spans 16 acres with a mile-long path connecting six distinct garden sections that represent different periods of Japanese landscape design.
George Morikami, a farmer from the Yamato Colony, donated the land to Palm Beach County in 1973, leading to the garden's construction between 1999 and 2001.
Each garden section reflects specific Japanese design principles, from the Heian period Shinden Garden to the Meiji era Modern Romantic Garden.
Visitors can explore waterfalls, pine forests, bamboo groves, and rock formations while following the connecting pathways through all six garden sections.
The Chie no Wa entrance features a replica of a 500-year-old lantern from Miyazu, Japan, marking the connection between both countries.
