Unwind and take a stroll to the spiritual garden oasis at The Japanese Garden in LA. This 6 1/2 acre garden features three gorgeous gardens in one and is truly a hidden, modern beauty. Achieve your best zen self as you walk through Tortoise Island; a magical and dry Zen meditation garden that symbolizes longevity. Continue along the path to the expansive Chisen, "wet-strolling" part of the gardens. Here is where the real magical waters and lush beauties exist. Discover the waterfalls, lakes, and streams from the different vistas of the garden. Pay attention to the amazing stone lanterns that were hand-carved by Japanese artisans! Follow the bamboo and purify yourself before entering the tranquil tea garden. Let's not forget one of the coolest features of this garden: SUSTAINABILITY! The garden's purpose was to demonstrate the positive use of reclaimed water in the most delicate of environments and the results are in the proof. A garden of water and fragrance that leads us to a world free of distraction to just focus on the simplicity of beauty in both nature and life. A much-needed authentic release!
