On the pathway up to the Garden, visitors may notice this stone. It is an antique mile marker, which used to be situated on the way to Kyoto from Tokyo. It reads「京へ三里」meaning about 7.5 miles to Kyoto.

We are OPEN today from 10:00am to 3:30pm. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping and take a walk through nature with us. Matsu 松 (pine) symbolizes late Fall and early Winter in Japanese culture. During this time of year, our gardeners take extra care to maintain our pine trees so they are fresh for the New Year. Dry bristles are brushed off by hand, gathered, and carried away to give us this crisp and clean look.

Pines can be seen in our Flat Garden, pictured here.
