The word zen means to meditate. While many Japanese gardens have meditative qualities, Zen is not essential to a niwa. 

By American standards, a Zen garden most often refers to symbolic dry sand gardens characteristic of Zen temple gardens. 

The term "Zen Garden" is an American creation; most garden companies in Japan would have no idea what you are talking about if you asked for a Zen garden!

While spirituality is often an element of niwa, religion is by no means necessary to a Japanese garden.
