Six distinctive Japanese garden styles, cultural galleries and a tranquil lakeside setting.
Morikami combines museum galleries about Japanese culture with Roji-en, a sequence of six garden styles inspired by different historical periods. Paths, bridges, lakes, bonsai and a café make it a rich cultural and landscape visit.
The experience is more than a botanical garden: design, history, art and seasonal cultural events work together. South Florida distance and festival crowds reward advance planning.
