"I went here when I was about 11 for the first time, and absolutely loved it! I finally went back a year or so ago, and it was as great as I remembered! The gardens are very peaceful, which is nice if you’ve been walking around crowded San Francisco. It’s great to just admire the beautiful plants, look into the ponds, and relax! I definitely recommend it for anyone who likes gardens and nature!"

"Somehow I just expected more. A Japanese tea ceremony, perhaps. The area was peaceful and provides a good place to get into your zen zone, though."

"There is so much greenery here, it is unbelievable. you feel like you are in the main set of the most Beautiful homes and gardens japan style. The garden wraps around a large area of Golden gate park. I once thought this place was near China town, but pulling up the map, because it’s been ahwile since I visited, i discovered it’s between 9th and 6th street in the heart of Golden Gate Park. breathtaking scenery and lush vegetation surround the gorgeous vista of plants… You’ll want to make sure you have some sun block. Although it usually isn’t too hot in SF, this area has a lot of sunlight coming into it. I beleive the sun always shines on this part of the bay. Come take a peek in it yourself, and some day you, too can take that road back to memory lane, and remember this place fondly."
