Located in the Golden Gate Park of San Francisco, California, the Japanese Tea Garden, is the oldest public Japanese garden in the United States.
The Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco was originally built as the Japanese Village for the 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition. Japanese immigrant and gardener Makoto Hagiwara designed the bulk of the garden and was officially appointed caretaker in 1894 until the hysteria surrounding World War II.
What makes the Japanese Tea Garden unique is the collection of dwarfed trees…temple replicas, statues, ponds, waterfalls, bridges, cherry blossom trees and a Tea House Restaurant offering a magnifficent view of the Entrance and Main Garden.
We visited the Japanese Tea Garden yesterday eager to see what it looks like in early Spring. What we saw amazed us. I simply could not believe that the Gardens could be so beautiful, a symphony of bright colors which I hope I have been able to capture in these photos.

Orange County, CALIFORNIAI have the privilege and blessing to enjoy the Japanese Tea Garden a few times a year when I vist with my son's family who live within walking distance. Wish the entrance fees were lower! Oh well, it's high maintenance after all. Just grateful it's there for us to enjoy! The other gardens are lovely too! You should photograph them so that our kababayans will make sure to visit them when they come to SF. Keep up the good work! Proud of you!- and your work!
