San Marino, California – Huntington Botanical Gardens Japanese Garden HD (2014)



The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens (or The Huntington) is a collections-based educational and research institution established by Henry E. Huntington and located in San Marino, California, in the United States. In addition to the library, the institution houses an extensive art collection with a focus in 18th- and 19th-century European art and 17th- to mid-20th-century American art. The property also includes approximately 120 acres of specialized botanical gardens, most notably the Japanese Garden, the Desert Garden, and the Chinese Garden (Liu Fang Yuan).

The garden was completed in 1912 and opened to the public in 1928. It features the drum or moon bridge, a large bell, the authentic ceremonial teahouse Seifu-an (the Arbor of Pure Breeze), a fully furnished Japanese house, koi-filled ponds, the Zen Garden, and the bonsai collections.

  1. The Carpenters were filmed here for their video for Only Yesterday. So beautiful I searched youtube to find videos of it.

  2. Those look like the Chinese Garden which are adjacent to the Japanese Gardens. The Japanese has white concrete bridges and huts.
