@postcardnews

Tucked away in central Phoenix, the Japanese Friendship Garden is a tranquil, 3.5-acre escape featuring traditional landscaping, koi ponds, and tea ceremonies conducted by local volunteers. Fodor’s and the Arizona Republic both recognize RoHoEn for its authentic design and role as a cultural bridge between Arizona and Japan. The garden’s nonprofit status ensures community involvement in every aspect, from seasonal festivals to educational workshops. It’s a serene, artful spot that offers both reflection and celebration of cross-cultural friendship.
