Beautiful every time!LOVE JFG!! I've been there many times--whenever I would visit my friend who lived there (since moved). She even had some of her wedding photos taken there--what a back drop!!

Cool parkI have been to the sister city's park in Okayama, Japan and i have to say that park is spectacular. This park, although not like the park in Japan, is a very nice and peaceful place with nice manicured gardens and a few little ponds. :-) A great place to visit.1 of 2 Yahoo!

Not well-managedThe park is nice and well designed but it was crowded and dirty. The people who were there that day were not respectful of park or other visitors. It is not in a good neighborhood. It was not an enjoyable experience.3 of 5 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL

Beautiful!Me and my BF go here on dates all the time. It is very beautiful and the koy fish are always fun to look at! I take my nephew.. he loves to feed the fish. its only a quarter to feed and free to enter. It gives you a very peaceful and relaxing feeling to be there & watching children enjoy the beauty of it, makes you feel even better!1 of 1 Yahoo!

A Place To Relax.Last 5/17/06 was not my first time visiting Japanese Friendship Garden. When I first game to America my parents took me there. It was a place that reminds me of back home.
