Yume Japanese Gardens
Yume Japanese Gardens is the living expression of an ancient Japanese heritage. It comprises five traditional landscape visions, covering three-quarters of an acre in central Tucson, Arizona. In each, nature is balanced by the human hand to render the spare elegance and subtle spirit of an authentic Japanese garden.

The Classroom
It is surrounded by beautiful Japanese gardens and a patio. The admission fee to enter the gardens will be included in your tuition. Yume's buildings speak in the unique accent of the Japanese architectural style that is notably human, simple, and open to nature. Their landscapes reflect a distinctive sensibility, too, primarily that of intimate, painting-like courtyard gardens.

The blending of these two traditions is unusual among Japanese gardens in North America. It creates a serene frame for something exceptional at Yume. They offer a transformative program of therapeutic garden walks, shown in research and practice, to soothe the spirit, gentle the mind, and restore the heart in the face of mental distress.
While you may step into Yume thinking only to enjoy its peacefulness and living beauty, you will also find in its interpretation of nature an invitation to cross a subtle threshold and reshape your inner landscape to achieve a renewed sense of emotional resilience and contentment.
