There’s a small fee to enter, but it’s worth it. I went to this garden during the middle of winter and still found it to be very beautiful. The views of the city limits, the skyscrapers, and the bay makes for a visually awesome experience. The second time I went was in the spring for the cherry blossoms. Everything looked like something out of a fairy tale. Worth a go if you love nature.
