Itinerary
Step into one of Bainbridge Island’s most powerful and meaningful historic sites. This guided visit takes you to the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, a deeply moving outdoor tribute honoring the first Japanese Americans forcibly removed from their homes following Executive Order 9066 during World War II.
Your guide will share the story of how local artist and stonecutter Jeffrey Bale hand-laid thousands of stones to create this beautiful circular labyrinth, inspired by ancient walking meditations found in European cathedrals. As you slowly walk its spiral path, you’ll feel the calming rhythm of each step surrounded by moss, ferns, and filtered forest light.
Your guide will lead you down a quiet wooded path where Pia waits. Standing more than 20 feet tall, she embodies the spirit of kindness and environmental stewardship, a reminder to care for the planet and one another.
