Japanese Tea Garden

Ali B a month ago

Stunning, peaceful garden. We loved walking around, looking at the beautiful Koi, being in nature. At the end the path naturally wound up in the tea house where we enjoyed the cool morning with perfectly steeped tea, cookies, and edamame. We were then able to enjoy the rest of the park. One of the coolest things I learned was this Japanese Garden is the oldest operating tea garden in North America. It truly is a beautiful space. Definitely worth the visit. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is a wonderful garden to visit. The only problem is that too many people are trying to do photo sessions in front of the landmarks and they get upset if you don't move for them to take their pics. 🤔 We take many pictures as you can see, but we don't inconvenience anyone else. I had a French man yell at me because I stepped into his picture. I was looking at Bonsai Trees not where his kid was standing. 😁

The Japanese Tea Garden is peaceful and well-maintained, but honestly, it felt overpriced for what it offers. At $16 per adult, I expected much more. The garden is relatively small and can be explored fairly quickly, with only a few main attractions such as the koi pond, bridges, and tea house. Many other visitors seem to share the same concern—that while it’s beautiful, the admission price is hard to justify. San Francisco has plenty of free or lower-cost spots with equally impressive views and scenery. Worth visiting only if you’re specifically interested in Japanese gardens; otherwise, it may not be the best value for your money.

Was not busy and was cheap for entry. Absolutely beautiful experience with amazing photo taking opportunities and a fantastic cafe. The garden is breathtaking, with koi fish and beautiful shrines. One of my favorite spots we had stopped in San Francisco. Highly recommend coming!

We had a good experience visiting Japanese Tea Garden. The gardens were clean, well maintained, and pleasant to walk through during our visit. The garden itself is on the smaller side, but it is still a nice place to stop and explore. There is also a tea house inside the gardens, which is a nice spot to grab a snack or drink while visiting. It was very crowded when we went, even though it was still fairly early in the day, so visitors may want to plan ahead for busier times. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable place to visit.
