About Nitobe Memorial Garden

Nitobe Memorial Garden is a traditional Japanese garden of about one hectare on the University of British Columbia campus. It is part of the UBC Botanical Garden but lies next to UBC's Asian Centre, two kilometres from the main garden. It honours Nitobe Inazō (1862–1933), the Japanese agronomist, diplomat and writer whose goal was to be a bridge across the Pacific. Designed by Kannosuke Mori of Chiba University, chosen by the Government of Japan, it officially opened in June 1960.
