The Japanese Friendship Garden is located on a rocky island in the Snake River in Idaho Falls. It was made by volunteers to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the association between Idaho Falls and its sister city of Tokai-Mura. The garden creates a Japanese atmosphere in the middle of Idaho, with the Japanese architecture, small water streams, a deck and a platform. It is a small space, and not ideal for a bike, but if you want to pass by to visit, you can go walking with your bike.
