The sister city Friendship Garden was created between 2003 and 2005 by Nelson's Jim Sawada and Vancouver landscape designer Hiro Okusa and his associates, with help from community volunteers and donors and the support of the cities of Izu-shi and Nelson.
この姉妹都市友好庭園は2003年にネルソン市と静岡県伊豆市の協力を得て、バンクーバーの造園家大草氏の設計により、ネルソンのジム澤田をはじめ地元企業などからの資金、資材、および多くの市民ボランティアの支援により2005年に完成しました。
Beginning in 2017, Nelson Izu-shi Friendship Society volunteers led by Bernie Zimmer and skilled artisans began to renew the main garden and develop the west side of the creek. The new Friendship Gate, garden beds, and viewpoints were built with support from the City of Nelson and the Columbia Basin Trust.

The Friendship Garden includes plants typical of Japanese gardens and offers visitors a calming, natural walk along unobstructed forest pathways leading to the waterfall. It is one of many Japanese gardens in Canada that link our communities with our sisters and friends across the Pacific Ocean.

This location beside Cottonwood Creek was chosen for the sister city friendship garden in 2003. Nelson Izu-Shi Friendship Society members and volunteers have continued to care for it since then.
この友好庭園は２００３年にコットンウッド・クリークが流れる脇に開かれました。以来、ネルソン伊豆市友好協会の会員やボランティアが世話を長年続けています。

The Nelson Izu-shi Friendship Society thanks Shoko Kurizaki and Jim Sawada for the Japanese language translations, the photographers for contributing these seasonal images, the many volunteers who maintain the Garden, and the sister cities of Izu-shi and Nelson for their continuing support.
