A New Symbol of Friendship between Selangor &  Japan

You probably know about the China-Malaysia Friendship Garden that is located in Putrajaya and symbolises the friendship between China and Malaysia. Similarly, the new Selangor-Japan Friendship Garden in Shah Alam shows the bond between two countries, Japan and Malaysia, and it opened its door to visitors in March 2021. The park has brought Japanese culture and traditions to us in Malaysia.

It is said that this garden is a piece of Japan in Selangor. The park also symbolises the trade and investment that connects Selangor and Japan together. It costs more than RM3.8 million to build and has 2.42 hectares of land. In spite of costing this much, this Japanese-themed garden welcomes visitors without charging any entry fee. Even the parking is also free here.

Here are the attractions that you will get to see in Selangor-Japan Friendship Garden.

1. Zen Garden
