Description

Seattle Japanese Garden is a 3.5-acre urban sanctuary. Winding gravel paths and stone benches invite you to view the garden slowly and mindfully in all its detail—rock, water, lanterns, bridges, buildings, plants, and animals. Seasonal changes are constant, and every visit is refreshingly unique.
