SHOFUSO. PHILADELPHIA
This center of Japanese culture in Philadelphia is the Japanese garden more cultural (and traveler) of those who are far from the islands. Both the house and the ecosystem that surrounds it were built in Japan but in order to be exhibited, nothing more and nothing less, than in the patio of The MoMA in New York . Five years later, in 1958, it moved to its current location, where it has become the best ambassador of Japanese culture. An honor that was reaffirmed in 2007, when the artist Hiroshi Senju decided to donate 20 of his murals to hang on the walls of this place. For all these reasons, shofuso is a excursion not only detox, but also cultured.

JAPANESE GARDEN. COWRA

This prison saw one of the greatest escapes in history take place, despite the fact that more than 200 Japanese soldiers perished in the attempt. However, the respect towards the victims shown by the Australian jailers (they gave respectful burial to all of them) meant that, years later, the Japanese government will close an alliance with this town . This resulted in a garden that follows the Edo period style and that it was designed by the best Japanese landscaper: Ken Nakajima.
