When strolling through and exploring the Macquarie River Bicentennial Park, you will discover the beautiful Ohkuma Japanese Garden. The garden is a product of the sister city relationship Bathurst has shared with the town of Ohkuma, Japan, since 1991.
This partnership provides valuable opportunities for residents of both communities to learn about each other’s culture.
Constructed in 1998, the Ohkuma Japanese Garden has continued to offer visitors a tranquil and lasting reminder of Bathurst’s special connection with its sister city.
