garden entrance

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.

Georgetown, KENTUCKY

Wow! Never been there. Please sir, may we have some more? (a quick nod to Oliver Twist there.)

What a gorgeous gate. Enjoyed the history, too.
