【San Francisco Hidden Gem】Step Into a Century-Old Japanese Tea Garden ★ A Quick Trip to Kyoto | Japanese Tea Garden
"This isn't San Francisco!" That's exactly what you'll probably shout in your head when stepping into the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. Greeted by arched bridges, a red five-story pagoda, Japanese-style paths, and Japanese pine trees flanking the walkway, we felt like we had completely stepped into an ancient Japanese capital! The tea house inside the garden serves various Japanese teas and treats. Sipping tea in this antique environment while quietly watching the shimmering water of the koi pond, we completely forgot we were in the US!
