Look out for the shrine marker along the forked road leading to the Municipal Hall. By whichever road, one will surely not miss the shrine. In this altar, Japanese visitors usually offer prayers and material things to the spirits of the Japanese soldiers who died during the war. The Japanese Garden sprawls on several hectares of slightly rugged and rolling land. The topography of the garden and the cool gentle breeze provide an excellent opportunity for a leisurely walk around the area.
Tourists can avail of picnic huts on the lower level of the garden.
From Manila, take the South Express Highway and go straight to Pagsanjan. From the T-junction at the Pagsanjan Roman Catholic Church, turn left and go through Lumban. Proceed to Caliraya. From this point, one has the option to go around the lake and take the asphalted road going to the garden or cross the lake in a boat and dock a few meters from the entrance of the garden. Japanese Garden is approximately 7 to 10 minutes' drive by land from Caliraya or 10 to 15 minutes by boat.
