This fun adventure that features Japanese sights and experiences in the Los Angeles area begins at SuihoEn – The Japanese Gardens that provide a “little gem of meditating calm” amid the busy San Fernando Valley. Enjoy time at leisure exploring this peaceful 6 ½ acre oasis that features three gardens in one – a dry Zen meditation garden, a “wet-strolling” garden, and a tea garden – all filled with ponds, bridges, stone Buddhas, and plants from Japan. SuihoEn exemplifies a chisen-style garden, where a pond or lake serves as the most significant element, symbolizing the sea. And what makes these Japanese gardens so unique is the water in the lake was reclaimed from the nearby Tillman Water Reclamation Plant. This afternoon we’ll enjoy an included, made-to-order teppanyaki lunch (with soup, hibachi rice and vegetables, and choice of protein) at Benihana. Your highly skilled and well-trained personal chef will entertain and interact with you while cooking your lunch on a traditional Japanese-style hibachi table. We’ll top off a memorable day at a locals’ favorite ice cream parlor with an included taiyaki ice cream, the popular Japanese soft serve served in the legendary, fish-shaped cake cone.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
