Visit North America's top-ranked Japanese garden and be awestruck by the natural beauty and serenity of this 12-acre treasure. Enjoy a guided tour with breathtaking views of plunging waterfalls, flowing streams, and distinctive architecture in addition to outstanding flowers, shrubs, and trees. Since the groundbreaking in 1978, the placement of every rock, alignment of every tree, and layout of each path has been made with careful consideration. After the tour, enjoy a delicious Japanese grill-side lunch at JMK Nippon Restaurant in Rockford. Then on to Laurent House, the only home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for a person with disabilities. Wright lovingly called this more simplified and affordable Usonian style house, "My Little Gem." Includes lunch, tours, and transportation.
