The Japanese Garden at the Huntington

One of the reasons I like to go to Japanese Garden At The Huntington is the variety of the experience. There is a strolling garden; a Bonsai Court; The tea house; A Zen Garden; and more.

A little early but still beautiful.

Japanese Garden at the Huntington

Though not exactly the most authentic Japanese Garden, the one at the Huntington Library/Garden remains one of my favorites.
