A Journey Into The Spirit Of Japan In Tucson, Arizona

Visit Japanese courtyard style gardens on 2/3 of an acre in Tucson, Arizona. Yume means “dream” in Japanese, and as in a dream, the gardens conduct visitors through metaphors that summon the creative force of centuries of Japanese culture. Revealing pathways and layered plantings offer intimate courtyard views of classical Japanese imagery. A Zen contemplative garden, a stone and gravel garden representing sea and islands, a grass garden, and a tranquil strolling pond garden provide further examples of Japanese garden styles. Each garden is a place to be at one with nature and with one’s self. In addition, we house a museum of traditional Japanese folk artifacts for our visitors to peruse and the largest Ikebana container exhibit in the US. Find out more
