A special Japanese tea garden called a cha-niwa, or roji, may be found in San Francisco. It provides a calm and peaceful setting for guests to think on the natural world and the art of harmonious living. The five-acre park in Golden Gate Park has stepping stone pathways, pagodas, koi ponds, zen gardens, stone lanterns, and native Japanese flora.
A showcase of the fine art of growing, the garden is open everyday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features elements such asymmetry, enclosure, borrowed landscape, balance, and symbolism. Classic features including an arched drum bridge, pagodas, stone lanterns, stepping stone pathways, native Japanese flora, calm koi ponds, and a zen garden can be found in the garden, which was first constructed as a part of the California Midwinter International Exposition in 1894. Japanese teas, hot cocoa, coffee, Coke, Diet Coke, and 7-Up are available for guests to enjoy along with Japanese food and sweets.
San Francisco's Japanese Tea Garden is a stunning attraction that is popular year-round, with cherry blossoms, azaleas, and magnolias blooming in full color from mid-March to April. The garden is more frequented during the summer months of June, July, and August, and the foliage changes in fall. Despite its beauty, visitors should avoid peak crowd times and visit on a sunny day. The bonsai grove, zen garden, and Tea House are also popular. The garden is tranquil, relaxing, and a great spot for photos. Visitors can even pick up Japanese snacks and desserts from one part of the garden. Overall, the garden is a highlight of Golden Gate Park.
