Japanese Garden
Built as a token of Cowra's connection with Japanese POWs (but with no overt mention of the war or the breakout), the garden and attached cultural centre, with its collection of ukiyo-e paintings depicting everyday events in pre-industrial Japan, are well worth visiting. A sakura matsuri – cherry-blossom festival – is held around September/October.

Cowra Regional Art Gallery
The gallery has a permanent collection and exhibitions. For art alfresco, take a peek beneath Lachlan River bridge to see murals painted by Aboriginal artist Kim Freeman.

Australian & Japanese War Cemeteries
About 5km south of town; many of those remembered here died very young. A nearby memorial marks the site of the breakout, and you can still see the camp foundations.
