Yuko-En on the
Elkhorn, the official Kentucky-Japan Friendship Garden, is located in
Georgetown, Kentucky on the north fork of Elkhorn Creek. The garden
is designed to have the appearance of a Japanese style strolling garden.
The community Japanese Friendship Garden was built in 2000 as a project
between the local citizens of Georgetown and the citizens of Georgetown's
sister city, Tahara in Japan. The Yuko-En on the Elkhorn garden features
the traditional elements of a Japanese garden with plants and landforms
native to Japan and Kentucky. |

he had NOT dropped the money. It was not enough to make him rich, but
it did pay for lunch later that day. |
