Now, let’s start exploring one by one.

Como Park Conservatory, St. Paul, MN

The Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden at the Como Park Conservatory is a living emblem of Saint Paul's peace and friendship with its sister city Nagasaki, Japan.

The garden, which is infused with real Japanese design, opened in 1979 and continues to offer a little bit of a Japanese conservatory right here in the midst of frigid Minnesota.

From May through September, the Japanese Garden is open. Although admission is free, donations are welcome.

The Nishinomiya Garden, Spokane, WA

San Mateo Japanese garden, San Mateo, CA

The Japanese Tea Garden, built by landscape architect Nagao Sakurai of the Imperial Palace of Tokyo, is regarded as one of the greatest tea gardens in California. There is a granite pagoda, a tea house, a koi pond, and a bamboo grove. 

The Japanese Tea Garden is magnificent all year, but it's especially lovely in late winter and early spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. It's in San Mateo, just outside of San Francisco. 

During the Spring and Summer, Koi Feedings are held at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (fish are not fed during public hours from November – February). 

Portland Japanese Garden, Oregon

When I first visited this garden, I was left speechless!

I never thought of finding such an authentic Japanese-style botanical garden outside of our country Japan.

It was designed in 1963 on the grounds of a former zoo. The 12-acre region contains eight unique styled sections which allow the visitors to experience all the aspects of Japanese garden architecture.

After you reach the top of the hill, you will enter the Cultural Village outlined by world-famous architect Kengo Kuma. Here you can enjoy traditional Japanese arts through seasonal performances, activities, and demonstrations in the courtyard of Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation.

Then you may visit the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center to immerse yourself with the delicate sounds of Koto (Japanese harp) or Shakuhachi flute.

You can also experience Japanese kimono, learn about tea making, and the art of flower arranging.

A stroll through the garden will let you see eye-catching scenery and a tranquil pond. You will feel like being lost in nature. The serene wind and calm environment will make all your tiredness of city life disappear.

To refresh yourself, you may drop by Umami Cafe in the garden. Just sip on the world-class Japanese tea with some traditional gracious and delicious edible delights.

Now, how about taking the garden’s art and culture at home!?

Well, in that case, you should go to the Gift Shop which is situated in the Cultural Village. There you will find a mix of exceptional items from Japan, including numerous items available nowhere else in the US.

In short, if you are in Portland, don’t miss visiting this famous Japanese garden at any cost. I assure you that you are gonna cherish each moment here.

Seattle Japanese Garden, Washington

A green treasure in the heart of Seattle!

Yes. With winding paths and benches, this garden is a gem located on top of Capitol Hill at the southeaster side of Washington Park.

You can enjoy views of water lanterns, bridges, plants, animals, buildings, and stones.

Open since June 1960, this Zen garden in Seattle is one of the highly praised Japanese-style parks in the USA.

This 3.5-acre orchard features a style that was developed in the late 16th to early 17th centuries called stroll gardens.

Prominent landscape designer Juki Iida planned this garden with the concept of “essence of nature” in mind. He used Japanese plant materials and Pacific Northwest native trees that have spread out gracefully over time.

He even chooses a vast number of granite rocks to set up near the waterfall. With the change of season, each element of this beautiful zen garden provides new colors, shapes, and fragrances.

To get an authentic vibe, you may drop by Seattle’s Japanese tea house named Shoseian Teahouse. The surrounding nature will keep your eyes delightful while enjoying the tea ceremony.

If you plan to visit this park with your child, don’t forget to take them to the pond. The colorful fish gather near the bridge, and your kid will definitely love their appearance.

The Japanese Tea Garden, San Francisco

This orchard is one of the best Japanese gardens in California and a popular tourist attraction too.

It features an arched drum bridge, stone lanterns, pagodas, stepping stone paths, serene koi ponds, native Japanese plants, and a zen garden.

The best time to visit this garden is during March and April when the flowering cherry trees are adorned with peak beauty.

By the way, there is a long story behind the establishment of this park.

Originally, it was developed as a “Japanese Village” exhibit for the 1894 California Midwinter International Exposition.

After the fair ended, Makoto Hagiwara (Japanese landscape architect) and John McLaren (superintendent) made an agreement, allowing Mr. Hagiwara to maintain a permanent Japanese-style garden as a gift for future generations.

He became the caretaker of this property and poured his personal wealth, talents, and passion into perfecting the garden. He expanded it to about 5 acres and lived with his family there.

However, in 1942, they were forced to evacuate home and move into an internment camp. Even when the war was over, Hagiwara’s family was not permitted to return their home to the tea garden.

After that, many renovations were made, and then people of America started to visit this place to find peace in city life.

If you go there, don’t forget to stop by the tea house and try the fortune cookies. You will find a paper tucked inside the cookie that has a short message.

Try to open one and see what’s in your destiny!!

Although it’s just a myth, I always find it exciting to open a fortune cookie cause you never know what’s written inside.

Anyway, there’s a gift shop nestled on the terrace level of the Tea House where you can purchase tea sets, glazed ceramic bowls, vases, a variety of green teas, kokeshi & daruma dolls, Maneki Neko figurines, and children’s collectibles.

In 1957, it was brought to Philadelphia to replace a temple gate that burned down in 1955.

Classified as one of the best Japanese gardens in the world outside Japan, it acts as a live museum where you can view the koi pond, stroll around the courtyard, and chill out in the tea garden.
