Kohan Reflection Garden sits beside Slocan Lake, using water, stone, planting, and mountain views to create a quiet memorial space. It is closely tied to New Denver's Japanese Canadian history, but it does not explain that history in panels; it asks you to slow down after seeing the Nikkei centre.
The garden is small and best folded into a lake-shore walk. On a calm day the setting is lovely without softening the story behind it.
