Located on the northern side of the campus, on a 4.5 hectare site, it is Australia's largest and most traditionally designed Japanese stroll garden.
Japanese gardens emphasise the use of rocks to create three dimensional pictures in stone.
Ju Raku En were accurately placed by the designer of the garden, Professor Kinsaku Nakane of Kyoto, so as to appear naturally dispersed in a random way. Ju Raku is more than just a group of rocks stitched together by water and artificially created hills and forests. The material world is the outer edge of the lake and a symbolic journal to paradise may be made by crossing one of the four bridges to the islands. The master plan for Ju Raku En and the design for the community building and tea house were prepared in Japan after site analysis and intensive background studies by staff of the Nakane Garden Research. Construction commenced in 1983 after 3 years of planning.
