Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden

Southern Alberta


The Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden is the perfect antidote to the stresses of the road. These immaculate grounds, interspersed with ponds, flowing water, bridges, bonsai trees and rock gardens, form an oasis of calm amid the bustle of everyday life. Authentic Japanese structures sit among the grassy mounds. You can even don a kimono and take a stroll.
