The Japanese Garden, Japanese garden in Van Nuys, California.
The 6.5-acre garden contains three distinct sections: a dry Zen meditation area, a wet-strolling space with lakes, and a traditional tea garden.
Dr. Koichi Kawana designed this garden between 1980 and 1983, with its official opening taking place on June 18, 1984.
The garden maintains Japanese horticultural traditions through regular demonstrations of bonsai cultivation, ikebana arrangements, and tea ceremonies throughout the year.
The Japanese Garden opens Monday through Thursday, with closures during city holidays and within 24 hours after rainfall for maintenance purposes.
Located within the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant grounds, this garden ranks tenth among 300 public Japanese gardens in the United States.
