Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix
About this place
A 3.5-acre Japanese stroll garden in downtown Phoenix, created as a sister city project with Himeji, Japan. Visitors walk paths past a 14-foot waterfall, koi ponds, stone bridges, and lanterns among over 1,500 hand-selected plant species. The garden includes a traditional tea house where monthly tea ceremonies are held from October through May, and hosts seasonal cultural events, workshops, and classes on Japanese garden design and history.
