The traditional Japanese Garden San Francisco is located at the beautiful Golden Gate Park.
The Park is a great place to spend a part of the day when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It is a narrow strip of land that starts at the Pacific Ocean.
There are flower gardens, lots of bike and walking paths, and several special sights.
Here are the highlights:
Japanese Tea Garden - a traditional garden with Japanese Maples, Koi Ponds and Bonsai Plants. Beautiful tea house where you can stop for a rest. Lovely place for a stroll.
Golden Gate Park Conservatory - striking glass house with unusual orchids and many plants from 5 continents.
San Francisco Botanical Gardens and Arboretum - over 6000 species of plants, trees and flowers set in theme gardens. Check out free docent tours.
Deyoung Museum - includes art from Africa, Oceania and the Americas.
Stow Lake - man-made lake where you can rent bicycles, rowboats and paddle boats.
