We last went in spring when the cherry blossoms and Azalea's were in bloom. It was a cloud of pink flowers around the tea house. It's beautiful in any season.

This is a nice and quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Very serene, and if I had more time, I could see just going there to relax and enjoy the scenery for a while. This was our first time and we were in a hurry so we were in and out within 30 minutes. Very pretty...

We took Muni bus #28 from the Golden Gate Bridge and arrived at the Japanese Tea Garden in the afternoon. As soon as we stepped into the garden, we sense that serenity around.

Such a contrast to the hustle and bustle of San francisco! The garden is situated inside the Golden Gate park and not very well sign-posted. But its worth the effort to find it.

I'm giving this as excellent just because it was so beautiful. The tea was delicious and exactly what was needed since it was a cold, rainy day. I would go again.

I would highly recommend to take a tour of Gardens. San Francisco library provide free tours.
Of course, some donation is expected and well deserved. Our guide was not just very knowledgeable, but also very emotionally attached to the Gardens. You can have save money and see the Gardens for free including tour on Monday morning.
