Come see what’s happening at the garden! Join us for our exciting events and take in the beautiful and serene view!
Join us for our 37th Annual Toro Nagashi ceremony on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at Shinzen Friendship Garden.
Traditionally, Toro Nagashi honors the memory of loved ones. During the festival of Obon, it is believed that ancestors come back to spend time with the living. On the final evening of the Obon festival, paper lanterns are set afloat to accompany the spirits as they depart for another year.
Lanterns must be pre-purchased. No lanterns will be sold on site.
