In September 2007, the ABQ Biopark opened one of its most ambitious projects the Sasebo Japanese Garden. The sprawling four-acre exhibit honors Sasebo Japan, Albuquerque’s sister city, on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu.
Designed by Toru Tanaka, the garden draws inspiration from traditional Japanese designs, featuring a waterfall, Koi pond, and plants native to the land of the rising sun.
This year, the River of Lights crew is expanding its light display into the Sasebo Japanese Garden, and much like the original garden construction in 2007, the traditions of Sasebo’s lantern festivals guided the BioPark’s design team.
