One of the oldest Japanese gardens in the country is San Francisco’s Japanese Tea Garden.
There was an exhibition in 1894 that led to the design of the park.
but it was preserved as a result of a gentleman’s deal.
As time passed, the garden expanded to the size it is today, approximately 5 acres.
Today the gardens are hugely famous with tourists who come to see the pagodas, stepping stones, arched bridges, and native Japanese plants.
The Zen Garden and Koi Pond are also on site.
On your visit, you can stop for some traditional Japanese refreshments if you are hungry or thirsty.
