Storrier-Stearns Japanese Garden
Storrier-Stearns Japanese Garden, Japanese garden in Pasadena, California, United States
The 1.45-acre garden features stone paths winding through ponds, waterfalls, and traditional Japanese landscaping with a central teahouse at 270 Arlington Drive.
Charles and Ellamae Storrier Stearns commissioned Japanese landscape designer Kinzuchi Fujii to create this garden in 1935, with construction lasting four years at a cost of $150,000.
The garden exemplifies the chisen kaiyu shiki design tradition, incorporating water elements and walking paths according to Japanese landscaping principles.
The garden welcomes visitors on the last Sunday of each month, offering guided tours through its stone bridges, hills, and water features.
The garden contains a reconstructed Twelve Tatami Mat Teahouse, built according to original 1930s drawings after the first structure burned down in 1981.
