A Touching Tribute: Walk Softly & Reflect
Japanese Garden的点评
点评：Artfully landscaped with ornamental flowers & trees, sky-reflecting ponds graced with pink water lilies, scenic bridges & benches, and traditional cultural expressions such as the Shishi-odoshi boar-scarer & the Yatsuhashi zigzag bridge, these Japanese Memorial Gardens are a touching tribute to lives once lived on Mayne Island, and a time to reflect on the Japanese Canadians who were unjustly forced to leave their homes in 1942.
As you approach the Gardens, & walk beneath the main Torii archway, you enter sacred ground. You can feel their spirit and sorrow the moment you step onto the soft forest trail. This short path then leads to a decorative fenced area where you proceed through a gate and into the elegant Gardens.
Walk slowly to absorb the harmony & healing that these Gardens offer. They are not on a grand scale like the renowned Butchart Gardens, but they excel in splendor. You can easily spend an hour or more here, admiring the unique elements, & examining some surprising sights (like the rock weights bending pine boughs). And what remarkable beauty! Truly a “heavenly place on earth.”
Amazingly the Gardens are now tended totally by volunteers (duly recognized on plaques). The Gardens are open year-round, and there is no admission fee. Parking is free in the small lot adjacent to the spacious Dinner Bay Park (which has picnicking facilities, lawn games, & a children’s playground).
Walking from the Mayne Island ferry terminal to the Gardens & Park is also an option – if you can hike the few slightly steep, winding roads that lead there (about a 20-minute walk). Maps available on the ferry show other walkable excursions on the Island too.
These beautiful Japanese Gardens on Mayne Island are truly a “must see.” On your way out – be sure to pull the gong on the temple bell, & welcome its resonant healing sound of peace.

翻译：这些日本纪念花园拥有精心设计的观赏花卉和树木、粉红色睡莲点缀的倒映天空的池塘、风景优美的桥梁和长凳，以及狮子驱野猪和八桥之字形桥等传统文化表现形式，是令人感动的致敬缅怀梅恩岛曾经的生活，也是反思 1942 年被迫背井离乡的日裔加拿大人的时刻。
当您接近花园并在主牌坊下方行走时，您就进入了圣地。当你踏上柔软的林间小道时，你就能感受到他们的精神和悲伤。这条短途通向装饰性围栏区域，穿过大门进入优雅的花园。
慢慢行走，感受这些花园带来的和谐与治愈。它们虽然不像著名的布查特花园那样规模宏大，但却非常辉煌。您可以轻松地在这里度过一个小时或更长时间，欣赏独特的元素，并欣赏一些令人惊讶的景观（例如压弯松树枝的岩石重量）。多么非凡的美丽啊！名副其实的“人间天堂”。
令人惊讶的是，花园现在完全由志愿者打理（在牌匾上得到正式认可）。花园全年开放，无需门票。宽敞的晚餐湾公园（设有野餐设施、草坪游戏和儿童游乐场）附近的小停车场可免费停车。
从梅恩岛渡轮码头步行前往花园和公园也是一种选择 - 如果您可以徒步前往那里的几条稍陡且蜿蜒的道路（步行约 20 分钟）。渡轮上的地图还显示了岛上其他适合步行的游览地点。
梅恩岛上这些美丽的日本花园确实是“必看”。出去时，一定要拉响寺庙钟上的锣，并欢迎它那和谐的治愈之声。
