This beautiful garden was 'designed by Professor Takuma Tono [of the Tokyo University of Agriculture.

 

The former Japanese ambassador to the U.S., Nobuo Matsunaga, said in 1988 that the garden was "the most beautiful and authentic Japanese garden in the world outside Japan."

 

In a study conducted in 2013 by the Journal of Japanese Gardening, it was deemed the finest public Japanese garden in North America out of more than 300 such gardens surveyed by Japanese garden experts.
