Japanese Tea Garden


Nestled in the middle of Golden Gate Park was this awesome Japanese tea garden. Only a stones throw away from the main city, this little treasure was a nice oasis away from all the city chaos. We went from watching hobos talking to themselves to koi fish swimming beneath our feet. It was a rather abrupt change of pace, but a really pleasant one for sure. The combination of tall trees, dojos, arched bridges, and lingering clouds really made me feel like I wasn't in California anymore. 

If you ever plan on visiting you must try the green tea and mochi (seen in the pictures above). It was really nice enjoying your tea in what seemed to be a pretty authentic Japanese garden. It's probably all just smoke and mirrors and some fancy ply wood but it sure had me fooled!
