Japanese Garden Seattle Kubota. The gardens on the seattle. The garden also will memorialize local landscaper fujitaro kubota, a 1907 japanese immigrant who later was interned at camp minidoka, idaho.
By 1922, he was able to start his own gardening business in seattle. The 5 acre business/garden prospered and the garden soon expanded to 2o acres with ponds, streams and mountainside garden with waterfalls. This little garden in south seattle remains a hidden gem, and it's spectacular.

Fulfilling a dream, it has become a destination garden, being enjoyed by visitors from around the world. In 1987, the city of seattle acquired the garden as part of its parks and recreation department. Dedicated in 2006, this garden was designed by the al kubota, grandson of fujitaro kubota, to remember the japanese americans who lived in this area that were incarcerated at camps during world war ii.
