The Japanese Garden Lake, located in the heart of Los Angeles's Van Nuys neighborhood, is a tranquil oasis amidst the urban sprawl. The 6.5-acre garden is home to three distinct areas: a dry Zen meditation garden, a wet-strolling garden, and a tea garden.
The Zen garden features a rock and sand garden with raked patterns, a wisteria arbor, and a three Buddha arrangement of stones. The wet-strolling garden is home to a large pond, waterfalls, streams, bridges, and hand-carved stone lanterns. The tea garden is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a cup of tea while overlooking the serene beauty of the garden.
The Japanese Garden is a popular destination for visitors seeking peace and tranquility. It is also a great place for families to enjoy a day outdoors. The garden is open to the public daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free for children under 5 years old, and there are discounts for seniors and students.
