The Japanese Garden in Van Nuys is a beloved landmark in downtown Los Angeles featuring Zen-style gardens of decorative Japanese plants and trees. The tranquil setting offers perfect balance between modernity and culture, showcasing Buddha figurines, stone lanterns, beautiful water features and authentic Asian plants. The vast Plover Path nurtures magnolia, lotus and cherry trees and has Japanese style bridges winding along waterfalls. You can enjoy watching playful fish and animals at the lakeside Tortoise Garden. At the end of the garden, the tatami-mat Teahouse and tea garden are must visits. They also have a store selling beautiful objects depicting the Japanese and Asian-Pacific cultures.
