Japanese Tea Garden

Welcome to the Japanese Tea Garden, the oldest public Japanese garden in the United States located inside Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California.

Join us for a Japanese Tea Ceremony, every Wednesday by appointment

Experience the rich cultural tradition that celebrates the preparation, serving and drinking of powdered green tea or matcha. Your host, attired in kimono and trained in the omotosenke style of tea ceremony, will demonstrate how to clean special utensils and present the matcha, as well as how to receive and drink tea in keeping with ancient Japanese customs.
