SA Japanese Tea Garden

Escape to nature in the historical, sunken garden. Cultivated from an old quarry, this beautiful garden offers a waterfall, koi ponds, pagoda, and lush vegetation. Free to the public and open daily until dark, this beautiful garden will give you a glimpse of life in the Far East. While you’re there, take time to enjoy a bento box, salad, sushi, or other delightful food items at the Jingu House, located at the entrance of the Garden. The Japanese Tea Garden is located at 3852 N St Mary’s St., San Antonio, TX 78212, near Brackenridge Park and the SA Zoo.

Relationship Reconnection:

While you’re exploring the serene paths of the Japanese Tea Garden, take the time to connect with your spouse through conversation. Just as the Garden has a historical story of its own, so does your relationship. Take the time to reconnect by sharing fond memories with each other. Ask sincere, loving questions. Be an active listener and give sincere compliments. Focus on each other as you embrace the calming atmosphere. The cares of the world will go away and all that will be left is the stillness of the Garden and the nurturing of your relationship.
