HISTORY
The Japanese Friendship Garden was built to honor the 10 year anniversary of Lawrence's relationship with its sister city, Hiratsuka, Japan. In 1995, the City of Hiratsuka, presented a gift of $5,000 to the City of Lawrence in recognition of their five year anniversary as being sister cities. The City of Lawrence matched the funding amount, and Faye Watson and many others volunteered their time to help create the friendship garden. Over $15,000 of additional funds were raised by volunteers who organized a fund raiser called the "Sister City Garden Gala." 

The City of Hiratsuka sent representatives to Lawrence to help design, plan and work on the project. A local committee of the Sister Cities Commission worked with Parks and Recreation Department staff to develop the garden. The City of Hiratsuka shipped two major pieces from Japan, a lantern and a 15' stone tower to be displayed in the garden. 

Approximately 50 delegates from Hiratsuka, including Mayor Itsuo Yoshino and nine other city officials, traveled to Lawrence to attend the dedication ceremony, which was held on October 26, 2000.

This cache is located within the Japanese Friendship Garden Park, a part of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department park system.  For general information please call 785-832-7920 or visit our website at www.lprd.org.  All park rules and regulations apply. Congrats to safteynotguarenteed for the FTF
