Yuko-En on the Elkhorn, The Official Kentucky-Japan Friendship Garden, is open daily from dawn until dusk.
This nearly six acre garden is a Bluegrass Landscape in a Japanese style stroll garden. Enjoy paths, waterfalls, Koi ponds, arched bridges, Elkhorn Creek, a Japanese style raked Stone Garden and more. Kiln House, a rustic structure, houses two raku kilns and offers demonstrations monthly and the Tea House offers tea ceremonies at times throughout the year.
The walls near the garden gate reveal a blend of Japanese style walls rising from the traditional Kentucky limestone fences of surrounding Scott County and Fayette County.
