*** About Japanese Tea Garden: Established over a century ago as part of the 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition, San Francisco’s Japanese Tea Garden is the oldest public Japanese garden in the United States. Spanning approximately 5 acres in Golden Gate Park, it was originally created by Japanese landscape architect Makoto Hagiwara. The garden is a living testament to the fusion of Japanese traditional garden aesthetics and a distinctly Californian context, featuring classic elements such as stepping stones, lanterns, koi ponds, and arched bridges. Visitors to the garden can experience a peaceful retreat from the bustling city environment, stepping into a world that honors the beauty and precision of Japanese landscaping traditions.
