Hakone Gardens, Japanese garden in Saratoga, United States.
The 18-acre estate contains hillside gardens, traditional buildings, multi-tiered waterfalls, koi ponds, stone lanterns, and bamboo groves within its landscaped grounds.
Isabel and Oliver Stine established this Japanese estate in 1917 after their travels to Japan, naming it after the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
Hakone Gardens maintains four distinct areas including a Zen meditation garden, bamboo garden, tea ceremony space, and strolling paths following Japanese design principles.
The foundation organizes guided tours, cultural events, and educational programs about Japanese gardening traditions throughout the year for visitors and school groups.
The gardens house rare bamboo specimens donated from Japan in 1985, maintained in a specialized USDA-approved greenhouse at the property's highest point.
