Japanese Tea Garden

The Japanese Tea Garden is a traditional landscape designed to create a peaceful and serene environment, often featuring aspects like ponds, bridges, and carefully arranged plants. Originating from Japanese customs around tea drinking, these gardens emphasize harmony with nature. They typically include elements such as stone lanterns, stepping stones, and tea houses, inviting visitors to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. The gardens serve as a space for reflection and meditation, promoting mindfulness and cultural appreciation. One of the most famous examples in the United States is located in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
