Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

Learn all things Japanese at this beautiful center in Delray Beach in Palm Beach County. Be sure to check out the Morikami Museum as well, but it's the Japanese Gardens that will likely take your breath away. Because this site is considered to be one of the best secluded getaways from Miami. The six gardens were established in 2001 and designed by Hoichi Kurisu as inspired by similar styles seen throughout Japanese history. Walk through them all and then, perhaps, consider planning a trip to Japan?

The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens is a center for Japanese arts and culture located west of Delray Beach in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The campus includes two museum buildings, the Roji-en Japanese Gardens: Garden of the Drops of Dew, a bonsai garden, library, gift shop, and a Japanese restaurant, called the Cornell Cafe, which has been featured on the Food Network and Vizcaya Television. Rotating exhibits are displayed in both buildings, and demonstrations, including tea ceremonies and classes, are held in the main building. Traditional Japanese festivals are celebrated several times a year.
