What to do in Lethbridge:
Escape at Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden
You won't feel like you're in Alberta during a visit to this lush oasis. The Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden was constructed in 1967 to recognize the multicultural nature of Lethbridge and the friendship between Japan and Canada. Stroll the manicured pathways and take in the natural beauty and calming water features. Or visit the 16th-century-inspired tea pavilion to take part in a private tea ceremony and other cultural experiences.
