I decided to go somewhere different, away from the fast-pace, traffic-congested day-to-day lifestyle that everyone is so used to. I ran across this place after searching for things to do around the area. The website looked great and the pictures easily attracted me to this location. I had gone on a weekday during work hours, so there were less people. I could see a few older couples just enjoying the view of the garden. When you first walk in there, you notice a very big pond. First thing that comes to mind is Koi fish. There were a few statues and smaller scaled temples made of stone around the garden. The Japanese Friendship Garden is a great tranquil place to go when you want to get away and want some alone time. There are other attractions at the garden that I don't want to spoil, but I'm sure another review has. It's a place you have to check out.
