    This Japanese garden is so peaceful and beautiful, it's not that big but that's all you need for tranquility and peace, they also have a gift shop and they have koi fish and you can feed them with food they sell for them. I had a good time here I love it.

    Beautiful and interesting traditional Japanese garden with a history dating back to the 1930s. Open in the evenings on Fridays and Saturdays and some day hours on Sunday . Entrance is $12 if reserved in advance and $15 at the door. There are several beautiful places to sit and have a picnic- bring snacks and something to drink! (We brought a thermos of tea, and some cheese and crackers and other munchies). Free parking on the surrounding streets, but make sure to re ad the signs for restrictions.

    So peaceful, so beautiful. Hidden in a residential area because it originally was a private residence. You must visit this little gem. Bring a friend and a snack. My mister and I are sitting here enjoying Japanese music being performed live. Very meditative. No food/beverage sold here. A little gift shop is on the grounds.

    A nice quiet but small Japanese garden. I love that they have seats everywhere, so it's a nice place for dating. But not a lot of features here. You can see the majority of it in 10 minutes.

    Such a lovely and wonderful place! Koi fish, turtles, as well as a ton of other fish come up to meet you when you stand at any of the two ponds' edges! Too bad today was way to hot (110°🌡♨️) too really get the most outta my visit but, I will be back!

    Beautiful and well-kept garden, with pleasant seating options, walking paths, and a peaceful pond and waterfall.

    Relatively quiet outdoor space except for the nearby traffic along a busy street which is noticeable. I was a tad disappointed that the pond water was quite muddy and not as clear, with some residual water matter floating on the surface. Otherwise, the fish were quite nice to see and to feed. Fish feed is available for sale from the front desk check in.

    We had a Celebration of Life there for my niece who passed away recently. It was a beautiful send off worthy of her life. The garden was beautiful.
