My experience in Japanese Garden at Cavinti, Laguna

Are you looking for a peaceful and happy place? Well, let’s go to Cavinti, Laguna.

Last July 30 2018, I decided to go to Japanese Garden with my friend, me and my friend enjoyed the view, this place so peaceful, a silent and green. 

The Japanese Garden along Lake Caliraya in Cavinti, Laguna is a memorial park built in 1970s by the Japanese government in order to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died during the Second World War. According to some locals and legends, it is also the burial site of General Yamashita of Yamashita treasure fame. The garden was built as a memorial and a symbol of friendship of the Japanese to the Filipinos. An altar/shrine (made up of marble) located at an elevated portion of the garden is usually visited by the Japanese to offer prayers and gifts to the spirits of the dead soldiers.

The Japanese Garden may be a memorial park but it’s open to the public with an entrance fee of P20 per person. The fee will be used for cleaning and maintaining the garden. Come and visit! You will enjoy this place!
