“Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden was built to honour the contributions of Japanese Canadians to Lethbridge's diverse community and to symbolize international friendship. The Garden was established during Canada's Centennial in 1967. Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden's goal was to create a Japanese-style garden that reflects southern Alberta's beautiful mountain and prairie scenery. In Japanese garden design, nature is depicted through abstract and artistic symbols, creating an intriguing landscape.
