Japanese Garden, Montevideo
The Japanese Garden of Montevideo (Spanish: Jardín Japonés de Montevideo; Japanese: モンテビデオの日本庭園') is located in the Prado neighbourhood of Montevideo, behind the Juan Manuel Blanes Museum.
It was donated by Japan as a memorial to the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between both countries, and inaugurated on 24 September 2001[1][2] by Princess Sayako.[3]
A wooden plaque, with calligraphy by then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, bears the inscription 平成苑 "Heisei Garden", being the year 13 of the Heisei Era (reign of Akihito) at the time of the inauguration.
