Welcome to the Pune-Okayama Friendship Garden, a haven of peace and tranquility nestled amidst the vibrant city of Pune! We are more than just a garden; we are a symbol of the enduring friendship between Pune, India, and Okayama, Japan.

A Legacy of Friendship

Established in 2006, our garden draws inspiration from the renowned Korakuen Garden in Okayama, a masterpiece of Japanese garden design for over 300 years. Our sprawling 10-acre landscape reflects the beauty and serenity of Japanese gardens, while fostering cultural exchange between our two great cities.

A Journey Through Nature

As you wander along our scenic paths, you'll encounter a captivating interplay of elements – meticulously manicured lawns, serene ponds teeming with colorful fish, cascading waterfalls, and strategically placed rocks and trees. Each element is carefully positioned to create a sense of harmony and balance, reflecting the Yin and Yang philosophy.

A Tribute to P.L. Deshpande
