Tucked away in the Washington Park Arboretum, this Japanese garden is one of the most highly regarded in North America. When you enter, follow a winding path around a central pond, stroll through a variety of Japan-inspired landscapes including mountains, forests, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, islands, and the sea. The details are stunning yet peaceful with stones, water, lanterns, bridges, buildings, plants and animals.
