The Japanese Tea Garden is a real delight. This well- kept Japanese garden is a quiet, relaxing experience. It is a highly recommended spot to visit if you have time. You have to remind yourself that you are actually in San Francisco, California rather than in Kyoto. more

These gardens are exquisite. They are actually pretty good-sized, and overflowing with flowers, trees, water features, interesting little curved paths to wander down. We went in March, when the cherry trees were in blossom, and the garden was just lovely. The tea service is just a very light bite, though in a beautiful setting. I would recommend you plan on... more

The Japenese Tea Garden in GGP is very nice and well worth a visit. It is full of minature gardens all very prim and proper with a lot of water features. I was expecting it to be quite small but there was a lot to see. There is a small place where you can buy some tea to drink and... more

This is my must-visit, I have been there 3 times and each time I am awed by the peaceful green surroundings.

We took our visiting relatives here June 2004, everyone loved it. It is beautiful and picturesque and you'll wish you had paint and canvas right with you so you can paint your beautiful surroundings. I am bringing my boyfriend there tomorrow, I hope it is as pretty in january as it was in June! more

lots of walking, good scenery. if you like walking take a detour through the Golden Gate Bridge Park while you're in San Fran, and don't miss their japanese tea garden. I went in the winter, so there weren't many people (and the weather's still warm b/c it is after all San Fran). there's a tea house in the garden too,... more
