Balboa Park Attractions

Japanese Friendship Gardens

The Garden originated as a teahouse during the 1915–16 Panama-California Exposition and now lies on two acres near the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. Along the Garden’s winding paths are a Zen garden for meditation, an exhibit house, koi pond, bonsai exhibit, ceremonial gate, and a Fujidana (wisteria arbor). Weekend classes are offered in sushi making, bonsai, calligraphy, and conversational Japanese. (http://www.balboapark.org/nav.html)

Public information: (619) 232-2721, www.niwa.org

We Recommend Visiting the Japanese Friendship Garden if you are in need of a good place to relax or sit and read a book, it is a beautiful place to walk through and see but there isn't much to do except look at flowers and read about plants and flowers.
