The garden is an oasis in the middle of a busy city. Great for photography - pictures look like postcards! Stunning place for a picnic if you have the time.
One of the highlights of GG park. It's nice to wander around here. It's one of my favorite places in SF. Gives you a wonderful feeling of peace and quiet.

I loved this place. It was a great picture taking spot. It was relaxing, meticulously maintained, and absolutely beautiful. If you appreciate the beauty of nature, as well as Japanese culture this is the place for you!! The tea wasn't bad either!! :-)

Every nook and cranny of this garden provides a fresh and soothing view. It is a DO NOT miss experience, especially the rock garden.
Take your time, sit, reflect and absorb the wonderousness of this treasure.
I have visited the garden more than a dozen times and it is always as the first time.

i like it cause of the food it was muy delicious. people that like a japanese scenery will like it here. the atmosphere is different from a normal restaurant
It is a wonderful and peaceful place to visit. Yes you have your tipical tourist around , but its not as bad as one might seem. In Japanese culture, a garden is considered to be one of the highest art forms, expressing in a limited space the essence of nature through the use of specially-selected plants and stones.
