Kasugai Gardens is a Japanese-inspired garden located in Kelowna, BC, built in honour of Kelowna’s sister city, Kasugai, Japan. The garden boasts stone lanterns, pine trees, a bubbling stream, and a waterfall that feeds into a central pond covered with water lilies and filled with koi fish.

Kasugai is an elegant crescent-shaped, top-down shawl with simple cables and texture, inspired by the meandering paths and lush foliage of Kasugai Gardens. Drape it over your shoulders or loop it around your neck for a walk through your favourite neighbourhood garden.
