Whispering streams, traditional landscaping, pagoda roofs, and a world-class tearoom make this 5-acre garden a cultural haven. A portrait of horticultural art and serenity, the Japanese Tea Garden claims the hearts of all who visit. Built in part of the Golden Gate Recreational Area in
Golden Gate Park, the garden has several carefully constructed buildings. Placed over a backdrop of Japanese cherry trees, jasmine, and wisteria, these gardens hold the secrets and treasures of ancient Japanese wisdom.
Past the arched bridges, structured ponds, and waterfalls is the picturesque craftsmanship of the pavilions, sculptures, and tearooms. Sliding doors open with hand painted cranes and lotus flowers into delicately built spaces. These historic finds will bring a thrill to any day. Don't forget to visit the gift shop and take a piece of the gardens with you.
