Described by the Miami Herald and the Michelin Guide as a serene escape, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens offers a peaceful retreat into Japanese culture through its beautifully landscaped gardens, rotating exhibitions, and authentic tea ceremonies. The museum’s story is deeply connected to the Yamato Colony—early 20th-century Japanese settlers who shaped the region. Today, visitors can stroll winding paths, enjoy koi ponds and bonsai displays, and experience traditional festivals, all while learning about a unique chapter in Florida’s history.
