The garden is one of Australia's most extensive and traditionally designed Japanese stroll gardens. UniSQ Japanese Garden is located over three hectares on the northern side of UniSQ Toowoomba and is jointly owned by UniSQ and the Toowoomba Regional Council. The garden is a famous venue for weddings. UniSQ Japanese Garden emphasises using rocks to create three-dimensional pictures in stone.
