Why go to The Japanese Tea Garden?

An unforgettable experience for $3.50! Located in the Golden Gate Park, the Japanese Tea Garden is one of the most popular attractions in San Francisco. It was established in 1894 and for many years it was tended by the Japanese gardener Makota Hagiwara. The garden is made of a maze of winding paths lined with Japanese trees, shrubs and flowers, a few ponds and a wooden pagoda. The Moon Bridge takes its name from its form and close to the tea tables one can find a large statue of Buddha that was cast in Japan in 1790.

The open teahouse offers relaxing tea and tasty cookies. The house is an ideal place to relax, people watch or just take in the serenity of the gardens.

Local Tip: Bring your camera.
