The Japanese Friendship Garden in Phoenix was created to express the positive bond between the people of the United states and the people of Japan. Phoenix, Arizona has had a sister city relationship with Himeji, Japan since 1976. In 1987 the Mayor of Himeji proposed the garden and representatives from Himeji have been instrumental in the garden's design and development ever since.
