8. Japanese Garden
Back Main page Fwd
They have a Japanese Garden in La Serena. For such a garden it is a bit odd, since it has big grass surfaces, an uncommon feature in Japanese gardens. True, one of the top-ranked gardens in Japan, Okayama, also has a lot of lawns, but in this case, I suspect it is more an adaption to what Chileans may expect in a park.
